Right Click behaviour

[Crash and Burn]

Hi, the right click behaviour of my mouse has changed. For example a right
click on the desktop used to give access to "NEW" and "ARRANGE ICONS BY"
functions, these are no longer available, or even displayed.

Is there a way to go back to the original functionality??

C&B,

Type "regsvr32 /i shell32" in the RUN box. If this does not help, you need to download the Directory association fix from here:

Missing entries in HKCR\Directory\... caused this. Registering shell32 fixed it?
