Hey guys!
I have a lot of shortcuts on my desktop and lot of people use my computer [my brother and his dumb friends]. Some of the data is crucial and i don't want someone to findout where it is located or anything else... I just want to dis a ble the right-click menu. Is there a way to do that? Please help!
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 Fame!
Thanks, but i don't find "NoViewContextMenu" key in the registry where you specified...! I tried navigating in the nearby location but still no luck...! Anyone could fix this!? I really need to disable the Right-Click menu, i don't care what i block...!
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!
