Mouse Context Menu

I have an odd occurance on my computer. Normally, when you right click on
anything (i.e. the desktop, a file, etc...) the context menu should drop down
and to the right of the mouse cursor. Unless the cursor is close to say the
right edge of the screen then it drops to the left. My problem is that the
menu is always dropping to the left of my cursor (unless I'm at the right
edge of the screen).

Is there a setting through the control panel or a registry setting that got
changed that would be causing this? Thanks in advanced.

Perhaps your mouse thinks you are left handed? Try the mouse settings panel.
only thing I can think of.

Hi Jorge,

Check here to see if this can resolve your problem for you. It will
show you how to change the menus to appear to the left or right of where
you right click.
