right click /hortcut and others are gone???

moving ot a new xp pro, on the old one i could...

start/accessories/calculator and then right click on calculator for a menu of
items including shorttcut and create a new short cut...

No there is nothing with the right click start/accessories/calculator

right click seems to work ok in other places, icons, folders, etc.

any ideas?

any help appreciated.

You need to enable the "Enable Dragging and Dropping" Option in your start
menu properties. Follow these steps:

Classic Start Menu:
Right-click Taskbar, Properties, click Start Menu tab, choose Customize
Enable the option "Enable Dragging and Dropping."

For New Start Menu:
Right-click Taskbar, Properties, click Start Menu tab, choose Customize
Click "Advanced" tab and enable the option "Enable Dragging and Dropping."
