Lost a right-click menu...
Sunday, February 15, 2004 by goodmorphing | Discussion: Stardock Software
Until recently my right-click menu seemed to be part of DX. It contained a lot of links that were specific to DX. I thought it was part of DX. Does anyone know what I am talking about? And where I can find it again? I really miss it.

Well, I started a new theme and found that if I check the box that says *hide desktop icons* I get the right click menu. But if I uncheck that box and let the icons show (using icon X anyway) that menu is gone.
why would that be? It is a very handy menu! Oh, yes, it is rightclick on desktop one.
Thanks.

You're right. Since DX "covers" the desktop...you don't have access to your icons. An alternative could be to use the DX desktop option with right-click available and then use the XP taskbar toolbar linked to your desktop.
If you shrink it down to just the title "Desktop" it will be menu driven like the start menu
