I think that it would be helpful if you could tell us which version of Knoppix you have installed and which desktop environment you are using.
Ok...so incredibly stupid question/scenario: I've just started working with a HDD-installed Knoppix environment. I right-clicked on the desktop and went into the preferences window, where I accidentally disabled being able to right-click on the desktop. Now I want to re-enable that functionality (this is the menu where you modify your desktop image, etc), but the only way I knew of getting to that settings window was by selecting the option from the right-click menu :P Would anyone happen to know if that menu runs a particular executable to bring that window up? Or maybe if there's another way to re-enable the menu itself? Thanks

You're definitely right. I'm sorry for leaving that out. It's Knoppix version 6.4.4, which I believe runs lxde with compiz fusion (although I don't think the latter plays a role). I've been out of the Linux loop for quite some time (my latest Linux box had a 600MHz processor), so hopefully that isn't too out of the ballpark.
... it's a bug of "PCManFM".
With PCManFM 0.9.8 within Knoppix 6.4.4 I get the same result, if I select 'Extended/ show Menu..'
Changing the value of "show_wm_menu" from "1" to "0" in
'/home/knoppix/.config/pcmanfm/LXDE/pcmanfm.conf' and re-login, I get the old behaviour.

I have done the same thing with Knoppix 6.2.1 but I have been unable to locate the pcmanfm.conf file. Is it different in 6.2.1?

... try in a console.. but I have been unable to locate the pcmanfm.conf file. Is it different in 6.2.1?
Greetings Werner * http://www.wp-schulz.de/knoppix/summary.htmlCode:find /home/knoppix/ -name pcmanfm.conf

Try /home/knoppix/.config/pcmanfm/LXDE/pcmanfm.conf
I still haven't been able to find pcmanfm.conf but I have solved the problem. In the PCMan File Manager (Ver 0.5.2) that I use there is a selection available in the Edit function on the menu bar that allows you to set preferences and under Preferences you get a box that allows you to set the Desktop features and there you will find a selection under General that allows you to select the desktop menu from the Desktop.
Many Thanks for the help though.
