    I just found out that when right click on a folder, the open menu went missing. Instead the first thing that comes up is "Share". I am running Vista 32 bit Home edition. It would be a great help if someone knew how to fix it.

    Thanks

    I am aware of such a feature being used in high-security networks, attempting to prevent right clicking. First try switching mice, try messing around in the control panel about mice, and if all else fails, use the menus or press the button between the windows icon, and the ctrl button on the right (little menu with mouse).
