Recently installed XP on a pc (Clean Install)
When I open Windows Explore and go to any folder in left section and left
mouse click on the name, it doesnt give me "rename", I have to manually
select rename from right mousde qand the drop dfown list. Anyone know what a
fix is for this.
My other PC does it correctly.

Assuming default mouse configuration - right side of keyboard, etc.

What happens if you select the file/folder with a single left-button click -
wait a full second and click on it again?
What about selecting the file or folder with a single left-button click and
then pressing F2 - what does that do for you?

Left-Mouse click is to select. Right-Mouse gives you options - on a normal
right-handed mouse setup.
