Cannot right click in the Start Menu

[Ingo]

Hello,

I had a problem earlier and the community here was a great
help. Anyway, I had forgot to mention the fact that when
everything went screwy with my system, I lost the ability
to right click in the start menu. Like when I went to
Start>Programs and wanted to right click to sort everything
by name, right clicking there does nothing at all.

Thankfully my shutdown button is back (thanks you anonymous
person who helped me, I really appreciate it ). So now
if we can solve this issue with the right clicking, then
everything will be back to normal. So does anyone know
anything about this?

Thanks a heap in advance

Hope it's 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.)

Kaylene,

Thanks for the info, but unfortunately it looks as though
those check boxes don't show up in the specified places. I
had been using the customized start menu and I didn't see
it. Then I switched back to the default start menu and
checked the place you said and the check box was not their
either.

Any other suggestions (hopefully)?

No idea, surprised that option wasn't there.
