I need to know how to Disable Right-Click ability when using any web
browser [IE, FireFox,Mozilla, Seamonkey etc]???

Have someone with a disability and they accidentally hit the right
mouse button very very often, They want the right button disabled
while they're using the Browser. Is their a way to do this? Software?
I'm will and able to edit the Registry.

The oncontextmenu event can be captured. You can write a default style sheet
for IE that sets the click to false. IE, tools menu, Options, General tab,
"Accessibility" button.

window.document.body.oncontextmenu=false

For Internet Explorer. I have no idea about the others.

NoBrowserContextMenu: Disables the right-click shortcut menu on a Web page.

For editing the registry, see these.

Internet Explorer Restrictions Registry Settings
http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/442/

The restrictions that are available to Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=823057

If XP Pro, you can use Group Policy (gpedit.msc) to disable it.

Administrative Templates\Windows Components\
Internet Explorer\Browser menus\Disable Context menu

"Prevents the shortcut menu from appearing when users click the right mouse
button while using the browser. If you enable this policy, the shortcut menu
will not appear when users point to a Web page, and then click the right
mouse button."

Hello,

Isn't that JavaScript which has nothing to do with CSS?

In Firefox, Mozilla and Seamonkey you can remove items in the UserContext
menu by editing the UserChrome file. Alternately, it can be done using a
Java script. See this forum thread:

You should, BTW, have a look at this article before you disable
right-click. The author has a point.

In the Control Panel, see if the Mouse applet will let you set the
button to open something other than the Context Menu, such as
Click/Select or whatever the left-click option is called within that
mouse. Then the Context Menu button on the keyboard will still be
available.
