One method is to simply reboot your system, although that's kind of an odd approach to the problem. You could set your system tray icons to always show themselves which to be honest sounds like that is what you should do. I'll have to review the steps before going any further since it has been almost a year since I set my own system up in that manner.
You are correct in that the safely remove icon is best shown to utilize it. David Ferrin "Beauty fades but dumbness is forever."

Up till now, with earlier versions of Windows software, when an external device was connected to my system, I would find a "Disconnect" option in the System Tray. With Windows 7, that doesn't seem to be the case. 1. How can you safely remove an external USB driven device without creating file corruption problems or other related issues? 2. Is it safe to remove or disconnect one of these devices when no "disconnect" option appears in the System Tray? 3. If the answer to question two is no, where can I find the option which will allow me to safely disconnect my devices?
