Glad to help. I'm fortunate in having an IT person who is morbidlyfascinated by the access technology and is painfully impressed by my abilityto so easily completely screw up my computer with it *grin*.He lives in fear for my Monday-morning phone calls with the latest result ofmy "tinkering".

There is a feature in Windows XP that allows you to control whether inactive icons show in your system tray, and you caneven customize which ones show at all.Minimize all programs to get to the desktop and tab twice until you land onthe task bar. Then Press Alt+Enter and you'll have a two page dialog to allow you to customize your task bar and start menu. In the task bar page, tab until you hear: Notification area Hide inactive icons checkedIf this is checked, then that explains why you don't see some of your iconswith any consistency. The tip that shows when you land in this area is: You can keep the notification area uncluttered by hiding icons that you have not clicked recently. So if that checkbox is checked, you can also further customize. Tab one again and you'll find Notification area Customize... button This will open a dialog with a list of a whole heck of a lot of icons that have at one time or another potentially appeared in your system tray. Most of the ones I find are already removed from my computer, but this listdoesn't seem to forget them. In any case you can arrow down the list to theones you know, and expect to see, and my arrowing right on each, you can affect how they behave.Have fun. I've kept my system tray clear of clutter this way, and only showwhat I want.

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 cansafely 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 thissequence. 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.May the peace of God which passes all understanding gard your heartand mind in Christ Jesus.

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? Ipromise you he doesn't shut down his computers every time he wants to removea drive.

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?
