Right click on your taskbar (not start button or system tray or any folder: just the plain blue taskbar)>Properties>Start Menu Tab>(First Option)Start Menu option>Customize>Advanced Tab>(On the "Start Menu" list box) Check "Enable Dragging and Dropping"
(Or)
Control Panel>Switch to Classic view>Taskbar and Start Menu>Start Menu Tab>(First Option)Start Menu>Customize>Advanced Tab>(On the "Start Menu" list box) Check "Enable Dragging and Dropping"
Hope these instructions are clear,

The "drag-and drop" solution was initially suggested by me, seen from the 1st URL:

I've also included the other possibility to rule-out the additional shell extensions which may be another possible root-cause.
