Regarding to the Desktop Right-click problem, open regedit and goto:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
Explorer


in right-cide pane, make sure there is no DWORD value named NoViewContextMenu, if its there, simply delete it ;)

and regarding to disable the "Its now safe to turn off screen", it seems that ur mobo doesnt support ATX :)

Yeah "NoDesktop" value also causes this problem and also disables all desktop items ;)
So just delete it :D
