    Don't worry about it, it is like if you want to go to My Computer (If you still have it named that) and telling your "iPod" or "Flashdrive" to "Eject." It may be cuased by several things. Serial ATA drives, FlashDrives, USB Devices (Printer Etc... Depending on how your computer interprates it), and some other things you have plugged in such as fire wire. Now, I wouldn't mess with it as it goes away. If it doesn't go away then just click on the start bar and properties and then tell it to hide if it is there. No big deal, I just wouldn't mess with it unless it is hurting you in some way, then I would go seek medical attention.
