Easy fix i hope. My mouse right-clicks on desktop but not in menus, for example when i want to "sort by name" the menus i cannot right-click. Any solution would be nice.

Thank you for your help.

you have to right click to open the menu and left click to select the option. If you go to start/programs you shold be able to right click on the folders and icons...once angain it will give you a menu...youneed toleft click to select an option on the menu.

I have the same problem. Think it started with the uninstallation of NERO.
All the registery settings that loaded up programs in the taskbar when Windows started up , were deleted for some reason. The registery key for this context menu, has probably also been delelted. Im looking for a fix now.

1. Right-click the start button.
2. Click "Properties".
3. Click on the "Start Menu" tab.
4. To the right of the Start Menu checkbox, click "Customize".
5. Click the "Advanced" tab.
6. Check the "Enable Dragging And Dropping" box.

Seems unlikely, but it does the trick!

Hooray for the return of the righ-click!
