When I go to Start > Programs > and Right click a program nothing happens, I
should get a options box including create shortcut, Open etc! I don't WHY?

I am using XP Pro and have no idea when this issue happened!!
 
Is your mouse's right button working? Have you checked it on another
system or have you tried using another mouse?

How about right-clicking on the Desktop and then creating a short cut
from there (assuming you know where the executables are located!). Or
go to the executables itself and right-click on it to create a short
cut.

If your right click menu is missing in the Start Menu...

XP Start Menu >>
Right click the Start button | Properties |
Start Menu tab | Customize button | Advanced tab |
Scroll down to and Check: Enable dragging and dropping |
Click OK | Click OK

Classic Start Menu >>
Right click the Start button | Properties |
Start Menu tab | Customize button |
Scroll down to and Check: Enable dragging and dropping |
Click OK | Click OK

Enable dragging and dropping
