MessageHi Kevin, Using F11 to get to system tray only showed my Virus protection, arrows up, down, left and right did nothing. Maybe it's just my system. The Window key and B, worked. Don't know enough about computers to understand why, just glad it worked.

My F11 was taking me to the system tray, however, arrowing left or right didn't work. Jim Jackson from the list advised, pressing Windows key and the B key, this did work. Try Windows and B on your Home XP, as it seems to work on both computers here.

Someone else may have responded to this already, but I'm going to add something. I learned this the hard way on my Zen Stone MP3 player. It also works as a thumb or flash drive. Close out Wondows Explorer and other programs. Go to Desktop and tab to System Tray. Arrow over to something that says Remove Storage device" and press Enter. It's kinda misleading but tab to "stop" and Enter. Then tab to Okay, provided the settings are as you like them. A dialog will appear that says you can safely now remove mass storage device. I do this now with my MP3 player and my little thumb or flash drives. At least I know that things are okay once I read that dialog. Locking up the Zen Stone twice has caused me to do this sequence. My XP Home PC at my house does not have this option, or at least I haven't seen it. But I do see it on XP Pro. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: neville@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] Re: kind of related to music Date: Thu, 29 Apr 2010 23:26:27 -0400 Yeah I do it all the time to and I've never had a problem.

As long as you wait a reasonable while after you've closed all files, you should be fine. You don't have to turn your computers completely off every time you want to remove a memory stick or flash drive. Some drives have eject buttons available in the software. These may not be accessible. What does your sighted friend do? I promise you he doesn't shut down his computers every time he wants to remove a drive.

Thanks Kevin Steve W ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin Gibbs To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, April 30, 2010 12:12 AM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: kind of related to music Just close all files running on the stick and close out to the desktop and that should probbly do it, I guess. -----Original Message----- From: ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ddots-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Steve Wicketts Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2010 5:57 PM To: ddtots Subject: [ddots-l] kind of related to music Hi all, This may be the dumbest question I've asked and I'm fully aware I've asked a few Dum questions in the passed. I've been told that before removing a memory stick from the USB, you must close it down or something like that to protect it. I'm moving MP3 files from one computer to another and switching off each computer every time before removing the memory stick. How do I remove the memory stick without damaging it whilst still leaving the computers on?
