I have two computers I "look after" in terms of backing up data to an external USB HDD. On the Home computer, when I plug the drive in, I get the message bubble that says it's connected, and when I remove the device, I get a message bubble telling me it's safe to do unplug it.

On the Work computer, however, I get no message bubbles. Period. And damned if I can find where to turn it on! I've checked in the Device Manager, and the option to suppress error messages is not checked, so it must be a setting somewhere else.

Home computer is running XP Home SP2, work computer is XP Pro SP2.

And unless its your computer at work, and you have admin access, you wont be able to change it

An example is here (www.theeldergeek.com)
