We loaded 2003 (from 2001+) about 2 weeks ago and my File menu adds or eliminates commands randomly between opening & closing a drawing. I'm running on Windows NT 4.0. Also, the Reset All button is inactive. How do I activate it? Thanks.

If you are talking about RMB shortcuts, you can turn off this "feature" by going to Tools/Options/System Options and check the box next to "Always show full shortcut menus". Ray Reynolds

Which you would think SolidWorks would have had off by default but noooooooo. The check box that MadMango is referring to is only available in SP1 and higher. BBJT CSWP
 
It wasn't the shortcuts, it was the main File menu on the drawing template only. As the day progressed it got worse and ended with not being able to work in a drawing at all. I had to completely uninstall 2001+ and reinstall 2003. All seems to be ok for now.
