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.
