ringfinger Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 That is a weird one... I would normally suggest reinstalling drivers... but if it works everywhere I wouldn't think that would fix it. How long has it been happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Check the following local policy (start > run > gpedit.msc) under User Configuration/Adminsitrative Templates/Start Menu and Taskbar/Remove Drag and Drop context menus on start menu - if it is enabled, set it to disabled. If it is set to "Not Configured", leave it alone.If that is set to "Not Configuraed", set or create the following registry value:Key: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ExplorerValue: nochangestartmenuType: REG_DWORDData: 0Once you've set the policy to disabled, or configured the registry value, restart and your right-click on start menu items should be working again.

ringfinger Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Heh... never knew that existed or I would have suggested it. I always only use the Classic Start menu and that option isn't available. Its the first thing I change on a new build or new-to-me-machine. But cool... hopefully that will fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
