Class Designer functionality missing

Using Visual Studio 2005 Professional.

When I right click on a class the Class Designer a couple of menu
items, "Create Instance" and "Invoke Static Method", should appear on
the popup menu. This works fine on my laptop, but the desktop machine
doesn't display the options.

Now, there is a difference between the machines. While both are running
Windows XP Pro and have similar hardware and network setups, the
desktop (the one that isn't working correctly) was likely the victim of
Power-User-Know-It-All-Syndrome.

See, I uninstalled the Visual J# Redistributable 2.0 (VJR) a few weeks
ago, thinking it was clutter, and then VS2005 started complaining that
the VJR was missing. I remember it asking if I wanted to disable
something so the error wouldn't show up again. Anyway, i disabled
whatever VS2005 asked me to and that probably broke my desktop setup.

So... can anyone help me reenable the "Create Instance" and "Invoke
Static Method" options?

Click to expand...

Just as a sanity check, it might just be that the menu has somehow got
'customised' in a way that has eaten those two options.

- Right click any menu or toolbar
- Choose Customise...
- Select Context Menus
- Click Reset...
- Choose Yes
