When I Right Click in Start/All Programs the Open and Explore options no
longer respond. Dragging and Dropping is enabled. I ran Scan/now. Checked all
the usual Registry suspects. Used ShellExView. Tried Kelly's-Korner fix. Used
Ramesh's Windows XP Troubleshooting site. Yet, I cannot find what is causing
it

Is it consistent... What happens when you right click Start in the task bar,
or
My Computer on desktop? Have you tried Classic Start Menu?

Hi irandolph.

In all the cases that I've seen, it's a shell extension blocking the
function. See if disabling ALL the items helps:

3rd party Context Menu Handlers
3rd party Property sheet Handlers
3rd party Icon Handlers

Thanks, Ramesh.

Previously, the only third party Content Menu Handler I didn't disable was
from Xdrive. I have had their software for a long time and didn't think they
were the cause. It probably got corrupted.

I appreciate you taking time to help us poor computer users get through
their problems.
