kolp Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 hi, i am using wxp pro sp2, and yesterday all of a sudden right clicking on the start menu stopped working! it is working everywhere except on the start menu, you know the one where i have the option to pin something or sort order in the all programs section, when i right click there just nothing happens. that's really weird, and for now i have to use the classic view, but i don't like it and there must be a solution to this. i scanned and found no viruses or spyware, what could it be?

Lee G. Veteran Posted February 17, 2005 Veteran Share Posted February 17, 2005 Hmmm... If that doesn't work then I'm afraid it could be a virus or some nasty program disabling right click - I'm not sure. That tool repairs the registry DWORD value so that you can right click again - so it can't be a registry problem I don't think. Sorry, I can't really help. Oh and @Bold_Fortune: Thanks, it's a good tool. Glad you like it as well as I :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/286406-right-click-on-start-menu-not-working/#findComment-585487966 Share on other sites More sharing options...
saiz66 Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Not a virus. Make sure "Enable Dragging and Dropping" is checked. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/286406-right-click-on-start-menu-not-working/#findComment-585488012 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee G. Veteran Posted February 17, 2005 Veteran Share Posted February 17, 2005 ^ No. It can't be that :/ I just unchecked the box, restarted explorer and I can still right click on the start menu.

He can't right click on the start menu at all. The only way I know how to disable right click on the start menu is by registry. But kolp has tried that using the taskbar tool.
