Right mouse click

[ianmacdonald1@h]

I have xp with sp2. When showing programs from the start button, right
clicking on a program will not bring up the box. Well it does for a
fraction of a second. How can I get the right mouse click to work
again?

What happens when you use the Context Menu key on the keyboard? (just
left of the right-hand Ctrl key) Does it flash open/closed, or remain open?

Try this post I found with a Google Groups search:

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.)

Excellent. Thanks very much it works.
