I need some help. I can't seem to right-click on my start
menu items on Windows XP Pro, and I am logged on using
a "Computer Administrator" account type. I can still
however right click elsewhere, but not on items on the
start menu like the most used programs and the items on
my "All Programs" list. This hasn't occurred before. Is
there anything that I can do?

I'd really appreciate any help provided. Thank you.

Hope it is this simple!

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.)
