[QUOTE="roge46, post: 105624, member: 5820"] Fiery, Unfortunately...yes. The problem still remains as described... I click on the bottom toolbar icon (regardless of which USB thumb drive is installed), I never have a pop-up menu with EJECT option ….so that toolbar icon is essentially useless as I never know if it is "safe" to remove….because the taskbar icon for "ACTION CENTER" cannot be turned "on"…it is "greyed out". The "eject" option only works inside of "My Computer" on the desktop. My wife has a netbook, also with Win-7 Home Premium, and her bottom toolbar icon (Action Center) always yields a pop-up when she or I want to eject a USB thumb drive. I guess that my error was that I assumed that lack of Action Center notification was associated with the Live security Platinum virus... simply because other chat rooms indicated that lack of notice was due to this virus. I know that I had that virus (or similar) in early November. The steps at http://malwaretips.com/blogs/live-security-platinum-virus/ refer to "Fix IconStreams and PastIconsStream Registry Subkeys Corruption" corrective action..... [b]Do you have any experience and/or knowledge about those "steps"?[/b] Any other thoughts, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. My sincere apology if I have wasted your time & effort on my behalf. Regards - Florida Gray Beard [/QUOTE]
