Recently I had an issue with Explorer, the recent ms explorers both had right clicking issues where you cannot right click at all; the right click would work in all the other programs including Firefox. To solve the problem I had to go in the registry and edit the values below.
1) Go into regedit
2) Go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions
Look for “NoBrowserContextMenu” – on mine there was a value of “1″
I changed it to “0″, closed explorer and tried it and it worked.
This seems to be an explorer bug. The ms techs solutions doesn’t work, they say remove any addon, un-install super-antispyware or that it could be a virus. The above instructions work for me, hope it does for you, leave a comment if it works. Thanks.
This issue made sure I stop using Explorer, switching full-time to Firefox. Two Thumbs up to FireFox always, explorer (lowercase) is a designer’s nightmare.

Chinese Characters in WordPressChinese characters do not work in WordPress by default if you didn’t
originally setup your WordPress to handle Chinese.
However, it is pretty easy to get it working. I didn’t see it
documented elsewhere, so I thought I’d post instructions on configuring
WordPress to allow posting Chinese.
* Using a program (like phpMyAdmin) to administer your database,
select the WordPress database.
* Find the wp_posts table, and click on the “structure” icon (it is
the second from the left under Actions)
* Click the “pencil” icon on the wp_content table.
* Change the Collation option to utf8_unicode_ci (on mine, that’s
the option at the very bottom).
* Click Save.
* If you want to enable Chinese in titles, you can repeat the
procedure for the wp_posts.wp_title. You might also want to enable it
in comments by repeating on wp_comments.comment_content and
wp_comments.comment_author.
That’s it! You can now post 汉字 in WordPress!
