No - but why would it need to?
Please explain.

Until recently icould open part files, select a part, right click on the part file and choose options to rename, delete, open, copy, etc; this is quite a convenience.
 
I still don't understand. When you say you could open etc, where from? Windows, SE ?

I guess he's talking about the Open File window.

casinjac, if you can't get the contextual menu in that window, is it gone from the windows explorer too?
 
Yes.
I click on Open File, Open File Folder, right click on part nothing happens.
When I click on the same part in Explorer everthing works fine.
I have reinstalled Solid Edge ST. It still doesn't work.
 
My Right Click works OK from the File Open window, but that's V19.
Is it something to do with SEwST?

Is it really a SE problem? Have you tried in another application, say MS Office, to see if the problem replicates?

I haven't installed SEwST yet, but I'm pretty sure this should not happen. This is standard Windows behavior, all apps should comply with this.
