Right Click - Shortcut menus GONE
Posted by kimvan on February 3rd, 2004


I don't see a newsgroup where I can ask for help with
this. I use WinXP Pro and I have LOST the right-click
shortcut menus from any item in the Start Menu. If I
right-click on a program entry to make another shortcut
so I can paste it to my desktop I get nothing, now
shortcut menu. This means I can't do a lot of things like
SORT the Start Menu. It appears that this is the only
place that I can't get right-click shortcut menus. Any
and ALL help is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks kimvan

If no shortcut menu appears and the menu flashes, the Enable Dragging And
Dropping check box has been cleared. This option enables shortcut menus and the
drag-and-drop capability.

To enable the option, right-click the Start button, choose Properties, and then
click Customize. If you're using the default Start menu, click the Advanced tab
and then, in the Start Menu Items box, select Enable Dragging And Dropping.
(If you're using the classic Start menu, the option appears in the Advanced
Start Menu Options box in the Customize Classic Start Menu dialog box.)
