Strange right-click issue

    As you all know, when you right click your mouse in WinXP, you get a menu with various options, and depending on what you right clicked on, the menu choices will change somewhat but the choices are usually file management related to a certain extent. Anyway- the right click works fine everywhere except when I right click in the Start Menu. Normally, you can click the Start button, open up the All Programs list, right click in it, and sort the files alphabetically, or right click a certain program, select delete or create a shortcut, whatever. But when I right click anywhere in the open Start Menu, it just closes real fast for half a second, and then comes right back like I never clicked anything. It does this in the all programs list also; it basically flickers once real fast as it closes and re-opens. But other than the Start Menu, the right click works fine everywhere else.

    Right click on the taskbar, choose properties, click on the Start menu tab, select customize, then advanced and make sure enable dragging and dropping is ticked.
