Right click on Start stopped working. How do I fix?

Hi!
My mouse is working fine, but when I right click on my PC's Start button to use
Explore, I no longer get the "Explore, Search" box.
Any idea how to get back that function? Or what to check on my desktop?
Thanks for your help.

a) Have u installed a new program that might have added some "features"to your mouse
context menu"? b) Have u installed anything lately? c) What happens when u right-click
My Computer? My Computer in my experience normally works even if there might be mouse
Context menu problems with other programs. d)Try uninstalling the few programs you
recently installed one at a time while testing the context menu after each uninstall.
If the mouse right-clicks after a programs u have just uninstalled, then that program
might have had some "features" added to it like "Open with another program--" that
may interfere with the Context menu.e) Bluetooth drivers are known to interfere with
the Context menu. If you have a Bluetooth driver, temporarily uninstall it and see
if the mouse problem continues. f) Try unloading a free software called ShellExView
which monitors your context menu holders. I would not waste a second in downloading
ShellExView, it has many supporters, including me, and it is free. Go to:http://snapfiles.com//opinions/ShellExView/ShellExView.html
for comments on ShellExView and to:http:://www.softpedia.com/get/system/File-Management/ShellExView.sht
for a short description of ShellExView. Have fun and best of luck.

Kiremerwa-Kato Simon - Thank you very much for taking time to offer suggestions.
My Start now has the Explorer back in it.
While going through procedures suggested, I opened
Taskbar Properties and checked “Display Shortcut menu". After that the Explorer
returned. I thank you for your time and help.
