WordPad is the number one program I use on a daily basis. That may sound crazy to some, I know. However, I don't need Microsoft word, Open Office or anything else. I just need the simplistic features and non energy sapping blank white canvas that WordPad provides to do my writing and editing. It would be nice if it had a word counter, but hey, you can't have everything.
The problem of, all of a sudden having no options when right clicking in WordPad seems to be a common one. Like, nothing happens what so ever, but right clicking anywhere out of WordPad and everything is fine. Some people recommend just deleting the WordPad.INI file from the Windows folder. That will work fine. But some users are paranoid of deleting anything that's located in the C: drive of the computer in fear of removing something important, and then the computer not working anymore. And that's understandable.
So an easier, or less panicky method is to save and then close all your open WordPad files. Then go and download the free version of CCleaner. This is an excellent program. After that, simply run a clean and, just to be newbie safe, make sure the above cleaning options are selected as the pictures shows. Run the clean. Re-open your WordPad documents and give them a right click. All should be fixed. Hope this helped you out. Back to work for me. Until the next time.
