Taskbar and Start Menu Properties and Custom Notifications
If I right click on the Start button in XP and choose properties, while in
Taskbar and Start Menu Properties and Custom Notifications the user can't change the behaviors. No drop down box will display. I have run TaskManager_Reset.reg, toolbarsgreyedout.reg, xp_taskbar_desktop_fixall.vbs I tried to choose Restore Defaults button. The user is an administrator of his machine. Enable drag and dropping in the Customize Start menu is checked. Machine has been re-booted. Can't google any other option nor find on Microsoft pages. Help will be greatly appreciated.

Help will be greatly appreciated. It might be a security program blocking the Registry change it needs to make. A few, but not all, of the programs now doing this a Ad-aware's Ad-Watch IBM Access Connections McAfee VirusScan and/or Antispyware Norton AV Spyware Blaster Spybot Tools IE Tweaks Spybot- Teatimer Spysweeper Spyware Doctor Windows Defender Zone Alarm (free) 6.5 Reported to be fixed in later versions. In the case of Zone Alarm 6.5 or Norton 2007 it actually has to be uninstalled. Make sure the Windows Firewall is turned on until you reinstall Zone Alarm. Boot into Safe Mode with Networking and try the change. -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM Do not send mail.
