Icon Remover

Icon Remover is a small software application whose purpose is to help you hide or show the ‘Safely Remove Hardware’ icon using a set of simple tweaks.

The ‘Safely Remove Hardware’ icon allows you to quickly unplug the currently connected devices to your computer. In case you are the owner of ADSL cable modems, HDD SATA drives, Zip drives, external CD-ROMs, or other devices, you may opt for keeping them connected to your PC.

During active connections the icon is present in the system tray area. Icon Remover proposes a simple software solution for helping you get rid of it or restore it later on.

After a fast installation process you are welcomed by a clean and intuitive design that packs all configuration settings into a single panel so they are basically placed at your fingertips.

A help manual is included in the package in case you need to find out more about the program’s configuration settings. However, consulting the help manual is not a mandatory step because the setup parameters look easy to work with.

Icon Remover gives you the possibility to completely remove the icon with a single click. The application is able to automatically remove the icon even after you restart or turn off your computer.

The best part about this utility is that it allows you to get back the icon at any moment and it simplifies the entire process to a single click.

There’s also support for command-line parameters, more specifically ‘/removeicon’ and ‘/showicon’ commands. You can appeal to the CMD environment in case you are familiar with writing custom commands in the console.

Icon Remover does not eat up a lot of CPU and memory resources so you can keep it running in the background without worrying that it burdens the overall performance of the computer.

To sum things up, Icon Remover makes it really easy for you to perform several system-related adjustments, and can be configured by rookies and professionals alike.
