Disable Right Click for Windows
4 August 2007

The following tricks will let you disable right click for Windows, which means completely disable right click for files, folders, explorer, desktop etc. Since, the first trick doesn't stops right click access for Taskbar and Start Menu, but the second trick will let us disable right click access for Taskbar, Start menu and the clock. However, both the tricks will not disable the system menu (i.e. restore, move, size, close etc when you right click on title of any application).

Disable right click for Taskbar and Start Menu

* Start Group Policy Editor. (Start->Run->"gpedit.msc")
* On the left, go to User Configuration->Administrative Templates->Start Menu and Taskbar.
* On the right, enable this option "Remove access to the context menus for the taskbar".

The above setting hides the menus that appear when you right-click the taskbar and items on the taskbar, such as the Start button, the clock, and the taskbar buttons. This setting does not prevent users from using other methods to issue the commands that appear on these menus.

Disable right click for Desktop, Files, Folders and Windows Explorer

* Start Group Policy Editor. (Start->Run->"gpedit.msc")
* On the left, go to
* User Configuration->Administrative Templates->Windows Components->Windows Explorer.
* On the right, enable this option "Remove Windows Explorer's default context menu".

The above setting removes shortcut menus from the desktop and Windows Explorer. Shortcut menus appear when you right-click an item. If you enable this setting, menus do not appear when you right-click the desktop or when you right-click the items in Windows Explorer. This setting does not prevent users from using other methods to issue commands available on the shortcut menus. Which means, users can still press F2 to rename a file or folder and press Delete to delete a file.
