I just found out that I cannot ctrl-click/right-click on anything under this user. However, all other users work just fine. What prefs is that stored in to delete? Any other ideas? Cache?

Thanks.

Do you have any special mouse drivers or anything?

No, just the regular Apple Pro Mouse is all.

Well I guess that explains your difficulties with right-clicking

I bet you can control click in the Finder. You don't get the context menu is probably what you mean. Does it simply not show up or does the Finder crash?

Usually that's the fault of a buggy contextual menu item. Do you have any installed for this user?

Bingo. I had one in there that was installed through some 3rd-party product awhile back...I removed it, and now everything is normal again.

Thanks!
