IIRC I used to be able to right click on an item in the start menu (eg
Favorites) and bring up a dialog box. This doesn't happen anymore. Any
ideas?
Cheers

If it is any comfort, mine doesn't either.

If your right click menu is missing in the Start Menu...

XP Start Menu >>
Right click the Start button | Properties |
Start Menu tab | Customize button | Advanced tab |
Scroll down to and Check: Enable dragging and dropping |
Click OK | Click OK

Classic Start Menu >>
Right click the Start button | Properties |
Start Menu tab | Customize button |
Scroll down to and Check: Enable dragging and dropping |
Click OK | OK

[[Specifies whether you can drag items to the Start
menu.]] Also disables the right click menu if UNChecked.

That's it.

You seem to know exactly what to do!! Unfortunately I don't - I seem to have
too many programs opening in the Start Menu. XP tells me how to add programs
- but how to I stop them opening from Start -up?
 
There's always something, Gilbert. Keep having fun :-)
