Thank you for your suggestion!
Unfortunately the option "dragging and dropping" is no longer available in the task bar menu. Have checked on my laptop, it is there! On my desktop it is not. Would you know how I can re-instate it??

Ramesh said:You need to enable the "Enable Dragging and Dropping" Option in your start menu properties. Follow these steps:
Classic Start Menu:
Right-click Taskbar, Properties, click Start Menu tab, choose Customize
Enable the option "Enable Dragging and Dropping."
For New Start Menu:
Right-click Taskbar, Properties, click Start Menu tab, choose Customize
Click "Advanced" tab and enable the option "Enable Dragging and Dropping."

I have recently actioned some registry changes and in the process have "lost" the right-click drop down menu in "start>all programs" To correct the fault I have tried "Kellys-Korner" toolbar repair kit, unfortunately withou success. Anybody knows how to get the lost menu Back? Many thanks in advance
