When I added the above to nvstor I got a Blue screen crash. After reboot the remove scsi icon was still there. Maybe I'll just learn to live with it.

I'll Take that back, I tried everything on vista and nothing worked.
My specs are Vista 32bit with 64bit hardware... BUT in the end I DID find a SOLUTION :)

Is a little program called USB DLM it allows you to hide ANY type of drive, external or internal from safely remove hardware dialog, it also allows you to assign letters to usb drives, and a lot of other useful stuff, best of all is FREE.

You can find the software at:

Download it and read help file at:
http://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbdlm_help_e.html

Search for "safely" and you will find the directions on how to hide the drives.

IMO the best solution available :)

My system is a GATEWAY FX540S
I have a SAFELY REMOVE HARDWARE problem too.
It wants me to remove:
1st line ———– Disk Drives D; C;
2nd line ——— Blu-Ray DVD Drive F;
I ran regedit , found all the keyword paramaters except NVATA
Now what? I hate that ICON.
