    When I am on a web page and press the right-click key (which key is to the immediate right of the Start-button key) on the keyboard of my Windows XP computer, most of the time I get the right-click menu but sometimes I get a "Macromedia Flash Player 6" menu (of sorts). What can I do to my computer to stop getting this Macromedia menu. Thank you very much.

    I do not understand:
    Are you pressing a key on your keyboard, toolbar or mouse?

    when such thing occurs (either by right-clicking the mouse or by pressing the key you mentioned), that means that the website you are visiting was made by macromedia flash and that is the reason why you get that menu instead of the usual ricght-click menu.

    In fact i don't believe that it is possible to get that right-click menu on such web sites!

    Two causes;

    1. The page is made entirely of Flash and rt click will always show a flash menu.
    2. Page has a flash object on it and focus is on the object. Use the tab key to move focus to something else, then rt click. (focus is like the cursor being on top of something, but is not necessary to have the cursor on something for focus) For instance, at page load, the focus can be coded to be on a form field.
