    right click menu

    Hi ,

    Sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue!

    I'm Ramzi, an Independent advisor, here to help you.

    Step 1: On your Windows 10 desktop, make sure that desktop icons are visible. If not, right-click on desktop, click View, and then click Show desktop icons to view all desktop icons.

    Step 2: Right-click on the Recycle Bin and then select Properties to open Recycle Bin Properties dialog box.

    Step 3: Under General tab, check the option named Display delete confirmation dialog. Click Apply button before closing Recycle Bin Properties dialog box.

    Let me know if I can help you further!

  3. External HardDrive Problem (please help right clicking Properties not showing dialog box :( )

    Try this:

    1) Insert your flash/external drive into the USB port.

    2) When you see the AutoPlay dialog box, click Cancel.

    3) Open My Computer, right-click your flash drive icon, and select Properties.

    4)In the Properties dialog box, select the AutoPlay tab.

    5) Perform the following steps for each item in the Content Type drop-down list:
    > Select an item in the Content Type drop-down list.
    > Choose Select An Action To Perform in the Actions panel.
    > Select the Open Folder To View Files In Windows Explorer action.
    > Click the Apply button.
    > Click OK to close the Properties dialog box.

    Now use the Safely Remove Hardware feature to remove your flash drive — wait a moment and plug it back in. You’ll see the AutoPlay progress appear momentarily, and then you should see Windows Explorer open to show the contents of the flash drive.
