I have another strange problem.

The Windows Explorer installed on my XPe image has the file menu
missing. Does anyone know why and how to fix it?

The XPe system has a touchscreen, no mouse no keyboard so it means you
can't copy paste files with explorer as you only have mouse left click.

Thanks
Helen

Explorer file menu is controlled by a user configuration policy:

you could have a wrong set in registry:
HKLM
Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Key: NoFileMenu Type REG_Dword
Set Value to 0 to show file menu

OR

Since this setting depends from a user policy, open the group policy
editor.
Start Run gpedit.msc
move to User Configuration - Administrative templates - Windows components -
windows explorer
and on the right side look for "Remove File Menu" then select "disable"

Check your touch screen driver settings, you should find a right button
emulation function.
Pressing on touch, for a defined time behaves as a right button pressure.

Thanks for all you help on this.

I do have standard menu shortcuts set in the image.

The hold for right click will sort the immediate issues.
Thanks
