Re HP Pavillion g7 Notebook PC,  Windows 8,  64-bit.   I want to be able to safely remove a USB thumb-drive without shutting down the computer.  There is no icon for "Safely Remove Hardware" as on other computers I have.  I have not been able to find the program or its icon using "search" or "find".  It is not indexed in the user guide.  Suggestions?
