This problem occurs because of Norton products. Actually Norton installs its own entry in context menu which breaks whole context menu and Windows starts showing the classic context menu. As you can see in the above screenshot, there is an entry for "Norton Antivirus".

To solve this problem, you just need to either disable Norton context menu entry from its Settings or uninstall Norton completely. It'll fix the problem and you'll get the new WPF enabled context menu back:

You solution works. But if you want to have the Norton function and also the Aero interface, Symantec provides a better solution.

Just go here: http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/...0090324093557EN

or if you want you can directly download the Symantec fix Symantec fix direct link
