I've just installed xp on a dell latitute, fresh install after reformat. no problems. but after installing sp 2 and I've now got no right click anywhere on the start menu, so I can't drag shortcuts off, pin to start menu etc :~(
it's not the mouse, I have not diasabled any services, it's just up and gone!
any ideas? I'd rather not have to reinstall if poss as it's ready to go home now

ps right click works everywhere else, just not anywhere on the startmenu/all progrms list
 
God, sorry I've just found the answer myself :rolleyes:

Q. Right-clicking Start Menu items has no effect...

A. Start, Control Panel, Taskbar and Start Menu, Start Menu, Customize, Advanced, check Enable dragging and dropping.

Mind you I still have no idea how it got disabled, hey ho
