Sorry for the false advertising claim - I realized too late.

And - well - if ou are left handed, then read twice :-) I mean, you ARE
right (if this is not a joke), but I was not even remotely aware of the
"turned mouse button" option, and most ppl will not be aware.

BTW - the problem turns out to be one of significant size, from the
emails I got from other ppl. Sad - that's something I thought MS would
have thought of.

Sorry pal to hurt you that *bad* ... and trust me it wasn't
advertising!!
1) You had not explained the problem too well
2) I use the mouse with my left-hand (not joking ..) so sometimes it
comes natural to me that the context-menu open's with a left-click...
sorry for that!

Shawn, really?

Sorry to fight this that open in public, but - you pointed me publicly
to an article on your website (which was good advertising), and did not
even care to read the problem.

I wasted valuable time going through the source code in the sample page
trying to find a reference to the explained problem, and found out that
the example does not even try remotely to do anything that is related to
the exact problem that I have explained in my request.

Help which is completely (!) off topic is - at least in my opinion -
more a liability than a serious help. When this gets "combined" with
advertisement, it starts ringing alert whistles with me. Don't get me
wrong - help on a peer newsgroup can be more than wrong "on error", but
just pointing me to our site because one or two "keywords" are similar
is - no help.

I don't throw my advice into this newsgroup on every question, unless I
have something to contribute where I am at least confident that it is a
MATCH to the request. I might err - but I will not just push advice
which turns out to cost the poor guy I give it to more time, just
because I don't read the problem.

Don't take this too serious, but - if you help someone, then you
actually DO take over SOME responsibility.
