Hi all,
on my laptop when I want to remove a USB flash drive I can't right click on the icon - "safely remove hardware and eject media"....No menu or options at all show up.
Right click works on all the other icons on the taskbar and anywhere else.
Any ideas what may be going on?

Thanks guys,
Oscer....No, double clicking did zilch.
Brink...handy for a stop gap remedy but being the stubborn jackass I am I went through everything looking for the glitch. Found the bluetooth was turned off, started it up and the right click is back!
