Right-Click Menu Items Disappear

September 24, 2005 1:17 PM from

Ok, this isn't really a problem so much as just kind of an annoyance... I'm using Right-Click on Windows XP, I've gotten rid of my start menu, task bar, everything. I setup my right-click menu with a bunch of shortcuts and folders, then switched the skin to the Longhorn skin. Every so often, when I right-click on the desktop, the menu will pop out and be totally black. That is, until I run my mouse over it. The entries appear and stay visible after the mouse passes over. It's not that it doesn't work or anything, it just kinda bothers me. Especially since it's my primary method of navigating windows. Any thoughts?

Its not just you..it seems to be a slight bug ..but one that I just over-look. I too rely on right click for everything. I usually only have the problems your describing if I change cursors or resolutions . But, sometimes it happens for no reason. I just unload right click from task bar and I keep it pinned to my start menu so i can bring it back quickly. Maybe one day they will work out the slight bugs but for now..I still will use it cause I find it to be a great way to find my " junk"
