Windows XP question - Quick Launch icons.?
How does Windows decide which Quick Launch icons to display at the lower right corner of the screen? Sometimes when I boot my computer, it displays a whole gamut of icons, and other times, it only shows a very minimal set.
One icon that seems to come and go a lot is the icon to safely remove removable devices such as USB keys. You're supposed to use that before disconnecting, but half the time it's not there.

are you talking about the icons beside the clock? these are not quick launch icons, the quick launch toolbar and its icons are user maintained and is beside the start button by default. you use them to quick launch a program. the icons beside the clock however, are mostly for programs that are already running in the background.
you can set what windows will show by right clicking on an empty portion of the taskbar and choose properties. beside "hide inactive icons" click customize.
on a side note, the "safely remove hardware" options is usually seen with usb flash drves, digital cameras, mp3s and also SATA hard drives.
