The "Unplug or Eject Hardware" Icon in the tool bar at the bottom of the
screen disappeared a few days ago. How can I add it back?

Dear George, that problem happens very often.
Please, create a shortcut in your desktop of this program:
Note that there is one blank space before "shell32.dll" and another
before "hotplug.dll". No other blank spaces should be there, and
please try it with the quotes and without the quotes.
It works very well in my WinXP machine, I understand that it should
work in a Win2k machine too.

Bottom Up method: Insert a USB flash drive and then unplug the device
through the control panel (System/Hardware/Hardware Wizard/Uninstall-Unplug
a Device/Unplug-Eject a Device/USB Mass Storage Device). The final box
offers you a checkbox to show the unplug icon in the system tray.
Apparently, the underlying vision behind this was "How can we make this as
hairy/nerve-wracking as possible?" If it doesn't work, there may be a Top
Down method as well for System Administrators.

If you find the box already checked, try unchecking it, complete the flash
drive removal, reinsert the flash drive, and remove it again through the
control panel, this time rechecking the icon box. I haven't tried it, but
that methodology has solved a few Mozilla problems for me in the past.
