Arranging programs list in alphbetical order

For some reason I've lost the ability to right click on my Programs list and
be able to sort the programs by their name. Does anyone have any suggestions
for being able to fix this problem? I have tried removing the software for my
mouse and then reinstalled it. But the problem is still there.
I'm running windows XP SP2
Microsoft Intellipoint with the intellimouse optical USB mouse with the
latest software downloaded from Microsoft's site.
Thanks for any and all suggestions, Charlie Knutson

"Chaslie",

I am sorry you are hitting this issue. This does not seem like a Windows Update
specific problem. Perhaps these other newsgroups would be more helpful:

microsoft.public.windowsxp.general
microsoft.public.windowsxp
microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support

Sincerely,

Pat Walters [MSFT]
