''Sort by name'' no longer works in start menu

i was trying to sort my start menu in XP and to my frustration it no longer worked.
right clicking on the menu caused my start menu to flicker instead. i figured out
that it was beacuse i had disabled the "drag and drop" option in the taskbar properties.
so .. . if you have the same problem, go into the control panel then taskbar and
start menu, customize, then advanced, then start menu items, and enable draggin and
dropping.

I had the same thing happen until I realized that clicking on the empty part of the
menu caused everything to flicker. right-clicking on an actual menu item and choosing
Sort affects the entire Start menu.
Just thought I'd try to help.

Thanks.

Aaaaaah ! Great! This has been bugging me for a couple of months now. The only other
advice I had found on the net was to edit the registry. This works perfectly fine.
Thanks for the info!

Thanks God for this, your solution was an answer to a prayer of assistance as I swam
in a sea of frustration!
