Mouse right click issues!

[rakesh14021983]

Hi all,

I have been facing a weird problem with my Microsoft mouse for the last two days.

If you click Start, go to Programs and right click.. you get a context menu whose contents are namely open, explore, delete, rename, sort by name and properties.

However all of a sudden my mouse right click has stopped functioning with respect to Start -> Programs.

Please note that my right click works absolutely normally in all other Windows pps like Word, IE etc. Also right click on the desktop is prefectly normal..

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I use the Sort by name feature a lot and it is a huge hindrance to not being able to use it.

Thanks in advance.

Open regedit and goto:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

In right-side pane, look for a DWORD value NoChangeStartMenu, if its present, delete it. otherwise create it and set its value to 0. Log off to take affect.
