If you dispense with the Start menu and just use the All Programs menu then a right-click does indeed reveal a fully expanded context menu without having to press the Shift key.
It would seem that because the Start Menu is just a way of pinning your favourite programs it only reveals a truncated context menu unless you use the Shift key with the right-click combo.
Other than editing the system registry I don't know whether what you want can be done.
