Can anyone tell me how to enable right click? It was working fine but yesterday when I tried to right click something in a word document it would not let me. I cannot right click on anything now. We had house guest for the last few days and I think they might have changed something or downloaded something.

Thank you for answering but changing right-click isn't one of the options in Mouse Properties.455

Try doing a System Restore to "day before yesterday" when it was working correctly. Personal files will be ok.
If that doesn't fix it, go to this link:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/restoreproperties.reg
Open a blank notepad window and copy/paste the entire text, including all blank lines into notepad. Save the file on desktop as right.reg
Close all open Windows and end all apps. Double-click on right.reg and accept the offer to modify the registry. Then reboot.

No Restore Points on System Restore. It had also been turned off.As for the link you provided, http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/restoreproperties.reg, it appears to be for xp. We operate Windows ME. Will the XP fix work with Millenium?455

Sorry, my bad. I missed that it was Windows ME. Don't know if the reg fix at Kelly's Korner will work in ME.
Scanned for malware since the intruder visited?
Run regedit and make a back up copy of your registry (export the registry to a file). Then search the Registry for the the key ""NoViewContextMenu". If you find it, change the Dword value to: 00000000
Exit regedit and reboot. If that doesn't fix it or causes problems, you can double-click on the backup copy of your registry to reset things to the way they were before you made any changes.
Caveat: editing the registry manually has it's risks, so if you're unsure of anything, don't do it.
If all else fail, there's a free Context editor here that work for Windows ME. Maybe it will restore this function to your system:
