click on any label under START/PROGRAMS to delete it or even make a shortcut.
I have to go into MY COMPUTER or EXPLORER to do it.
How do I fix this?

Re: Right click on START/PROGRAMS not working
Although this shouldn't affect All Programs in the Start Menu, it willaffect the icons in Start Menu's initial view: right click on the Start
Menu button, choose Properties, then choose Customize. Make sure the
"Enable context menus and dragging and dropping" item has a checkmark next
to it.

Re: Right click on START/PROGRAMS not working
Hi cewrx7r1-1) Try this reg tweak from Kelly (whose site seems to be off line--I had to
use a web archive to reach it):
http://web.archive.org/web/200604241...ontextmenu.reg
Click it>run>apply
2) Try SFC:
Type cme in Search Box>rt.click when pops up>run as admin>at prompt type sfc
/scannow.
3) If you have a restore point try SR.
