Removing items from 'right-click' menu

[Benji]

I was wondering if there is a way to remove items in
the 'Right-click' drop down menu in Internet Explorer.
For example, removing 'View Source' or 'Create Shortcut'
from the menu.

Is there a registry key that can be modified to do this?

Please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Benji,

I don't know how to remove the View Source or Create Shortcut from the context menu but I know how to disable the context
menu itself.

If you are internested you would need to create the DWORD value NoBrowserContextMenu in the registry key below and
set it to 1, you may have to create part of this registry path by adding sub-keys.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions

Bill,

Thanks.. Worked like a charm! Would you happen to know of
another DWORD value that will disable users to 'right-
click' on the toolbar in IE? I deal with extremely
curious users that love trying to get around my policies.

Thanks!

Shortcut from the context menu but I know how to disable

Benji,

There are two DWORD values, listed below along with what they do, that you can try.

NoToolbarCustomize = "Disable customizing browser toolbar buttons"
NoBandCustomize = "Disable customizing browser toolbars"

These would go into the following registry key.

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

I don't think this is exactly what you are looking for but give it a try and see if it will work for you.
