Nothing happens when I right-click the taskbar

I don't get the context menu for the taskbar (or any kind of reaction at all) when I right-click an empty portion of the taskbar.


Solution 1:

Create a text file with the following contents:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoTrayContextMenu"=-

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoTrayContextMenu"=-

Then rename it to whatever.reg

Then double click on it. You may have to reboot for the changes to take effect.
