I'm using XP and whenever I go to try and add an icon to my desktop from the
"All Programs" menu nothing happens when I right-click the program that I
want. This happens for all the programs installed on my computer. It's not
the mouse. It works fine for everything else except this. What happened was
that I ran a desktop cleanup and there were some icons missing that I still
wanted to have on my desktop screen but when I tried to put them back I was
unable to do it. Does anyone have any solutions or advice? This isn't a
life or death situation but I would like to access certain programs directly
from the desktop rather than having to go through the steps of having to
access them through the start button and then having to choose the program I
want from the "All Prgrams" menu. I hope that I was clear enough.
