Right click in IE fails for some profiles

Following loss of my profile information, so I had to re-create, I've
come across a peculiar problem that I can't solve.

When I log in on my XP machine (creating a new profile) with an NT4
domain account, I have no problems.

When I log in using my Active Directory account (again, creating a new
profile), I find several peculiar problems:
1) In IE 6 SP1, right-clicking on a link and selecting "Open in new
window" does nothing.
2) In Windows Explorer, right-click on file and selecting "Send to"
"Mail recipient" does nothing (although I can get an Outlook profile-
selection dialog).
3) In IE, left-clicking a link with a TARGET attribute does nothing.
4) The Windows Update service does nothing when I click the "Install"
button.

I'm assuming that these are all related. I've tried repairing my OS
installation, my Office installation, deleting the local profiles and
re-creating them; no change. Both accounts have local administrator
access. If I log on to another machine, I don't see the problem; if
someone else logs on to my machine, they don't see the problem.

My next step appears to be reinstall the OS, but that will be a pain to
reinstall the software.

Anybody have any ideas?

Update...

When any new Active Directory user logs in to the machine, they see the
problem behaviour. When any NT4 domain user logs in, they don't - so it
it something Active Domain specific.
