If no shortcut menu appears and the menu flashes, the Enable Dragging And Dropping
check box has been cleared. This option enables shortcut menus and the drag-and-drop
capability.

To enable the option, right-click the Start button, choose Properties, and then click
Customize. If you're using the default Start menu, click the Advanced tab and then,
in the Start Menu Items box, select Enable Dragging And Dropping.
(If you're using the classic Start menu, the option appears in the Advanced Start
Menu Options box in the Customize Classic Start Menu dialog box.)

Hope it that's simple.

Assuming the left click works do a
System Restore
if you haven't turned it off.
