LAN Button in system tray w/ SRH button

I have a NIC port on my computer and I have an Icon in my system tray I wish to not see anymore. When you hoover over it with your mouse it says. "Local Area Connection a network cable is unplugged" I have personaly never plugged a cable into my nic port yet.. dont have any devices that need to use the port so any who... does anyone know how to get rid of it. I also have a button that serves me no use at all what so ever.. its a button that resides in the system tray and I have no recolection as to how to turn the damn thing off. Its called the Safely Remove Hardware button... In it is a couple things to safely remove my ZIP and USB CABLE Modem.. I want that gone too lol Can anyone help?

open device manager find the nic card and disable it by right clicking on it and select properties and tick the disabled in this hardware profile
then open regedit go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and delete ctfmon.exe
reboot the computer and post back
