Disable right click on All programs icon in start menu

[chilli35]

I'm trying to disable right click functionality in the Start menu on windows
xp clients via gpo. I have disabled general right click functionality on the
desktop and indeed within the start menu but i am unable to specifically
disable the right click option on the All Programs icon.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks you

Chilli,

You can change 2 registry keys to stop right-click on the START button but not
sure if ot will work for all programs:

Rename:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell

To:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell.old
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell.old

That removes open, explore & find on the start button

You can also disable Taskbar (start button, system tray & Taskbar) context
menu's here:

Current User:


HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

All Users:


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

Key Name: NoTrayContextMenu
Key Type: DWORD
Value: 1 = disable the context menu, 0 = enable the context menu

Thank you for your reply unfortunately this did not work and if possible i'd
rather do it through group policy if at all possible!

Thanks again for your reply.
