Enable Drag & Drop Feature In XP Start Menu

by Amirul Ashraff 0 comments



Yesterday, my PC got a strange bug, which I can't drag or right-click in my start menu. I need this to sort my start menu items. So, here is what I found with my googling (Googling is the best solution for PC problems).

 To enable this drag & drop feature, just do one of this steps below,

For Classic Start Menus


Right-click Taskbar, Properties, click Start Menu tab, choose Customize
Enable the option "Enable Dragging and Dropping."


For New Start Menus

Right-click Taskbar, Properties, click Start Menu tab, choose Customize
Click "Advanced" tab and enable the option "Enable Dragging and Dropping."

I had followed those steps easily until I come to this problem-There is no 'Enable Dragging & Dropping' feature in the customize section.

So, I start Googling again and I found these:

Start Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) and navigate to the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer


Then, right-click on the NoChangeStartMenu and change it value to 0.

Or the alternative way:

Copy the text between the cut and paste it into notepad.and save as a .REG file ("filename.reg). Then, double-click the saved file and save information to registry.


-------------Cut ->------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoChangeStartMenu"=dword:00000000

-------------<- Cut------------------
