    Class Designer functionality missing

    Using Visual Studio 2005 Professional.

    When I right click on a class the Class Designer a couple of menu
    items, "Create Instance" and "Invoke Static Method", should appear on
    the popup menu. This works fine on my laptop, but the desktop machine
    doesn't display the options.

    Now, there is a difference between the machines. While both are running
    Windows XP Pro and have similar hardware and network setups, the
    desktop (the one that isn't working correctly) was likely the victim of
    Power-User-Know-It-All-Syndrome.

    See, I uninstalled the Visual J# Redistributable 2.0 (VJR) a few weeks
    ago, thinking it was clutter, and then VS2005 started complaining that
    the VJR was missing. I remember it asking if I wanted to disable
    something so the error wouldn't show up again. Anyway, i disabled
    whatever VS2005 asked me to and that probably broke my desktop setup.

    So... can anyone help me reenable the "Create Instance" and "Invoke
    Static Method" options?

      Just as a sanity check, it might just be that the menu has somehow got
      'customised' in a way that has eaten those two options.

      - Right click any menu or toolbar
      - Choose Customise...
      - Select Context Menus
      - Click Reset...
      - Choose Yes
