I had done some tweaks in service settings (Disabled some as I thought it is not needed). Now, I am not getting the option to safely remove mass storage device when I click the icon on the system tray. I tried enabling some of the services, but it didn't help. Moreover I'm not very sure if this anomaly is because of my changes in services.
Any idea how to make those 'safely remove' options appear when I click the USB icon on the tray. Right now nothing is happening when I click.
Answer
I have stopped depending on that tray icon.
The RemoveDrive tool is very good and
manages to Safely Remove the removable drives many times after that icon declares failure.
Suggest reading up the notes on the RemoveDrive page
(and several other pages from the same place)
to build your confidence on that tool.
Then, use it if you like it.
I typically keep a shortcut as shown here on the desktop as an immediate fall-back.
C:\some\path\RemoveDrive.exe U:\ -i -b
You can do that from the command line if your drive letter keeps changing.
