Right Mouse Click
I am looking for a way to disable the right mouse click completely for a group of computers or a specific logon. I have been able to disable the "menucontentview" through a registry edit but cannot find a way to completely disable the right click. These are accounts / computers in a domain using Active Directory so either a group policy or registry edit is a possibility.

Thanks

Red face Third Party App
It seems that we will have to use a third party application to do the lock down. What we hope to do is use an application to setup the maditory profile and not have to have the application running on every PC.
Thanks for the lead I will look at the Fortes app and see what they have.

I got this from a google lookup to site
http://www.windowsitpro.com/Article/...588/13588.html

A. For those systems running with Service Pack 2 or above, it is possible to disable the context menu as follows:

Start the registry editor (regedit.exe)
Move to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explor er
From the Edit menu, select New - DWord Value
Enter the name NoViewContextMenu and press enter
Double click the new value and set the value to 1 and click OK
Close the registry editor
Logout and Login again


Note-I have no experience with this-I suggest you review the site and proceed only if you feel secure with it.

I have tried that and it works great if you want to remove the context menu when a user right clicks on the desk top. What I am attempting to do is stop all right clicks from working (right click on the start get a menu with explorer, properties etc, right click on My computer get the popup menu) The NoViewContextMenu does not stop all of this.

Thanks
