Enable/Disable right click in group policy

Hi all

My first post here.

Just would like to know how to enable/disable right click of the mouse through group policy in W2k. We have a locked down policy on most of our customers & dont want them to be able to right click for various reasons.I've done it before, but for the life of me, just cannot remember where it is again?

Can someone tell me where it is located?

I tried looking in the Group Policy but couldn't find it either, I only found the Deny Drag and Drop property

but you can do it through the registry by:

1) Start > Run > regedit
2) Goto HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
3) Right-click the right pane and goto New > DWORD Value
4) Enter in NoViewContextMenu and then press Enter
5) Double click on the new DWORD and then in the Value Data field, set the value to 1 and click OK
6) Close the regedit window
7) Log out and the log back in to refresh the changes

Hope that helps

Thanks for your help guys.

What90, thanks dude. I guess I was looking for something that said "disable right click" Or "Configure mouse" or some such thing. But that default context menu did the trick nicely ;)

It's a bugger to find, you'd think the call it something obvious.
I had to write it down - twice ;-)
