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?

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

Sorry, I checked it as well. :blush:

Didn't work. :(

@saiz66: That's OK :) The function you mean, is that you can't drag files and shortcuts into the start menu/taskbar. 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.

    • Wikipedia suffers backlash from human editors over AI summaries, prompting feature pause

      By samw61 · Posted

      A summary of the article shouldn't be an issue in theory, as the information is all based within the document itself. The problem with a lot of AI models is that they are trained off both Wikipedia as a primary source and other secondary websites which have less reliable information. As an encyclopaedia it is no doubt going to have bias in one way or another, all encyclopaedias do. The difference is that there is a process for a lot of this information to be figured out whether or not it is an opinion, or the source of that information, and to be aware of the possible bias in the first place, even your own bias as a reader. The way many people understand languages these days is quite limited, particularly in certain areas of the world. This is obvious in many types of "journalism" where some articles are thinly disguised opinion pieces, Where language is carefully curated to push a point of view despite it looking like fact. This is partly why a lot of the Western world is now so divided.
    • Clipchamp now lets you trim videos by cutting out transcripts

      I paid for a year subscription, starting in December, I think. I like the user-friendliness and assets like royalty-free music and sounds. But they need to fix some of the horrific bugs before they start adding more features. For starters, you should be able to drag stuff around the timeline without it completely obliterating transitions, synchronization timing, and clip lengths. If you already set up footage and audio how you want, and try to insert more by sliding content to the right, you'll have to clean it all up again. The scroll wheel constantly stops working, and you have to minimize the window and restore it to get it back. When selecting text at the top right in special text tools, it glitches and goes to "copy" mode with a weird pop-up on top of your cursor and you can't type. These are more important than AI tools and new features. Microsoft, start by making your product less painful to use.
