Well - using Regmon (thanks Kelly), the only changes I can see are under the
"safely remove" process itself. IOW, if "Safely Remove" wasn't installed,
the registry keys wouldn't be there. I've worked around it by disabling the
scanner in Device Manager (I only use it 2 or 3 times a week). It's not a
huge issue, I just like to tidy up the Notification Area.
Regards Tony.
