Popup menus appear on the wrong side in Windows Vista - Tablet PC Settings
Are popup menus in your Vista PC appearing at the wrong side all of a sudden? For example, when you right-click a file, the context menu may appear on the left hand side, rather than on the right-hand side (default). The same may happen when you open Windows Explorer and click on the File menu (or press ALT + F).
This has to do with a Tablet PC setting which governs how the menu items are displayed. To restore the popup menu to the right-hand side, use these steps.
Click Start, type Tablet PC Settings
Click Tablet PC Settings link from the Start menu search results
In the Tablet PC Settings dialog, select the option named Left-handed under the section Handedness.
When this option is selected, the popup menus appear on your right-hand side, which is the default setting. One exception is that when there is not enough screen real estate available on the right hand side to display the popup menu, Windows displays the menu on the left hand side automatically.
