A couple of days ago, I noticed that right clicking the taskbar no
longer worked. I had used it to kill some programs which loaded in
Start.

I don't know what might have caused this disabling. I did let Microsoft
install updates to Windows XP Home Edition but it was all supposed to
be for security.

How do I get it back? I often right-click to save pictures and
end/launch programs.

Click to expand...

Start here:

Doesn't work on Start button or Menu:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer and
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

In the right-pane, delete the "NoTrayContextMenu" value (if exists).
This policy removes the context menus for the Start button, Taskbar,
and Notification area.

Or run line 56 (right hand side):
