    Hi..!
    A deadly question indeed... But i don't think such a thing really exists! I mean if you disable the right-click menu it will parlays windows! Almost 40% of the functions would be disabled...! And i don't think that a good idea!

    Heya!
    Trying doing this in the registry editor :
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer]
    "NoViewContextMenu"=dword: 00000001
    Hope this helps you...!

    Hey!
    If you know the result and still want to do it, here it is how to... Fame must have wrote the entire procedure... well... Just follow this :

    • Open up the "run" command (if it is disabled use 'Windows Key' + R)
    • Type in "regedit" but without the quotations. Then push enter.
    • Navigate to:
    • [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
    • Look for the value name "NoViewContextMenu" (if no such value exists, then just go ahead and create it)
    • Make sure the type is REG_DWORD
    • Type in a 0 to disable right clicking and a 1 to enable right clicking.
    • Restart your computer after the modification.


    All the best!

    * Start Group Policy Editor (Start > Run > “gpedit.msc”)
    * In the left panel, go to Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Explorer
    * In the right panel, enable Remove Windows Explorer’s default context menu
