I do not know what happened. I can not right click and Open "Start Menu"
"All Programs" folder? How can I reset this?
 
You may want to look into your mouse properties and make sure the right click
is the main button , assuming you're a left hander, in your mouse.

GLuck!
 
It's the Open option of the Right-click menu. Other than that, the mouse is
working fine, so it is not the mouse!

What do you have under this key and the subkeys HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\OpenWithList

Does any context menu appear for the taskbar or start menu? If not then look
at this location

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurentVersion\Policies\Explorer] or
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurentVersion\Policies\Explorer]

Delete "NoTrayContextMenu" or change the data value to a 1
 
This key does not exist. What next?

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\OpenWithList\Excel.exe]
@=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\OpenWithList\IExplore.exe]
@=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\OpenWithList\MSPaint.exe]
