Sort Option Not Available

I am using XP home edition. Under the Start Menu, All Programs..I was once
able to right click and choose options like Sort Programs Alphabetically,
etc. Now when I try to access this menu an empty gray box flashes for about
1 sec. I no longer have access to any of those options previously listed.
Can anyone suggest a solution as to what I might have done to cause this?

Thanks in advance for your help,
James

Right click the Start button, select Properties, Customize, Enable dragging
and dropping.
