I used to notice the Safely Remove Hardware icon was always missing from my taskbar. It was pretty weird. I would log in as Admin to my Windows XP PC but the Safely Remove Hardware Icon would always be missing. So I surf around and found 2 solutions.

1. Run a command to bring up the Safely Remove Hardware dialog screen.

There are times that the Safely Remove Hardware Icon is missing or disappeared from the try bar. In Windows Safe Mode, you can’t find the Safely Remove Hardware icon at all! Is shutting down the computer the only way to safely stop and unplug your USB devices? Fortunately not. Here are some ways you can bring back the Safely Remove Hardware window when the icon is missing. source

2. Download an app called USB Disk Ejector. A program that allows you to quickly remove USB devices in Windows. It was originally designed to remove only USB pen drives but will now eject any USB device. It can be run as a non-visual command line program or a normal gui program. Its very useful if you have a USB flash/pen drive, especially if you use a menu such as PStart or the Portable Apps launcher.

Just found out there is an izzi pizza outlet in uptown damansara. Their pizzas are delicious. I first had them back in 2006 when i was visiting jakarta.

When you download images from your digital camera to your computer, the file names of the images have nothing to do with the events or scenes in the pictures. Renaming each file manually is time-consuming, but using this Windows XP technique, you can quickly rename a folder of digital photos all at once. When you use this technique on a folder, all the files in the folder end up with a single name (including a sequential number) that relates to the subject of the images. Using this technique to rename your digital photos makes it easier to locate the one you’re looking for at a later date—a photo named museum of flight august (18).JPG, for example, is easier to find than that some photo named DSCN1518.JPG.

1. View the photos in your folder using the Details view
2. Select a bunch of photos
3. Right click on the first photo on the selection (at the top)
4. Change the name ie Wedding Set 1 and ENTER
5. Voila – the other photos will have their filenames changed accordingly.

For all those who are in love with music and want to carry it along with them all the time, there is good news! Sony Ericsson has launched W890i, a successor to its popular Walkman phone (W880i). With 3.2 megapixel camera, new Walkman 3.0 software, 9.6mm width and 262,144-colour TFT display, the new model definitely scores much more than the earlier walkman phone. It has digital zoom, video recording and works on GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900, along with UMTS 2100 network. In short, if you have liked the earlier walkman phones of Sony Ericsson, you are going to fall in love with this one!

The Look
Sony Ericsson W 890i has a very sleek and suave look. The unassuming classiness, combined with smooth curves, make it the preferred choice of all those for whom style matters a lot. Even the range of colors, Espresso Black, Mocha Brown and Sparking Silver, doesn’t fail to impress the phone geeks. The raised and wide buttons of Sony Ericsson W890i make it quite comfortable to use, especially for those who have to remain on sms all the time. With 9.6mm thickness and 78g weight, the phone seems to be totally inconspicuous.
