View Full Version : Disable context menu from Programs menu (W2K)

Has anyone found a reg entry that will disable the context menu when right-clicking the "Programs" menu under "Start", to lock users from Open and Explore.

Test 1: I've tried the reg hack to disable the context menu from "Start", and it does prevent the context access on "Programs"; however, I can no longer access Control Panel (even as administrator) -- get "File doesn't have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel."

Change shell to shell.old:
-------------------------------
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell.old] and [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell.old]


Test 2: I entered a value of 1 for NoViewContextMenu, but that only worked for Explorer.

NoViewContextMenu change:
------------------------------------
\HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Po licies\Explorer\NoViewContextMenu

Thanks,

CLeong

NoChangeStartMenu
