Hello,
I am looking for a way to truly disable the refresh function in
Explorer, there are a number of nifty registry entries that restrict
features in Explorer including one that removes the refresh button from
the toolbar:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mic*rosoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\*Policies\Explorer
Registry key Description
------------------------------*------------------------------*
SpecifyDefaultButtons Must be set to DWORD 0x1 if you are
going to
disable any of the default buttons
(as in Btn_Back, etc.).
The following registry keys use these DWORD values:
DWORD value 0 = the buttons default setting.
DWORD value 1 = Enables the button.
DWORD value 2 = Disables the button.
Registry key Description
------------------------------*------------------------------*---
Btn_Back Disables the Back button and menu item.
Btn_Forward Disables the Forward button and menu
item.
Btn_Stop Disables the Stop button and menu item.
Btn_Refresh Disables the Refresh button and menu
item.
The problem is the shortcut keys still work. We use a third party
ASP.net application that runs full screen and when the user accidently
hits F5 it causes problems. Is there a way to not only disable the
button, but disable the refresh functionality? Thanks in advance for
any help.
Jeremy
