when an usb device is plug into a computer (running window XP pro) a little icon appears in the taskbar area and the usb device can be ejected via that icon.<br />

The problem is the icon does not appear when a usb device in inserted, so once I am done with the usb device, (ie an external drive) I can't reject it. &nbsp;<br />

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
