[Guest]

The right-click popup the pop-up where I can unlist a program, sort the
programs, rename, etc. on the start menu does not popup anymore on my Winxp
system. How to fix it?

Enable the "Enable Dragging and Dropping" Option in your Start menu properties. Follow these steps:

For 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."

Hi Thomas,

If you are using Spysweeper, disable it and try again. If not:

Right click the Start button, select Properties, Customize. Scroll through
the options on the Advanced tab and put the check mark back in Enable
dragging and dropping.

If your right clicking abilities are more complexed, run this edit.

Enable or Disable the Right Click Context Menu (Line 56)

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it
and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by
right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.
