Q:

How do I prevent a menu extra from appearing at login?

Recently I reinstalled OS X 10.6.8 and afterwards I removed my DVD drive since it was no necessary. However, upon booting the 'eject' menu extra appears. Dragging it off does not help as it reappears during the next boot. There are no other drives removable connected.
Is there any simple solution other than deleting the menu extra file?
(Though it is a wonderful application, using Bartender is not a solution.)

A:

Try this

or
Rename eject.menu in /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/ to something else "eject.menu.bak"
restart mac and then rename the file back to original.
Not sure if it works but trying doesnt hurt anyone.
