1206222 2011-06-02 00:38:00 Hi guys.

I have XP Home with SP 3, etc, running on my poor old ASUS laptop.

My latest problem is if I, Right Click anything on my Start menu programs, nothing happens.

If I go into, My Computer and Right Click all good.

Strange I had same problem on my desktop, which is in the PC hospital right now, having major surgery, etc.

:thanks

Ian :thumbs:

If you are comfortable editing the Registry then the link Braindead gave you is a good one. Follow their advice.
