Right clicking anywhere on the desktop pops up a number of contextual menu items like paste, copy, properties and others on the screen. However, a number of system administrators would prefer to disable the right click for security reasons.
It is possible to disable the user’s ability to right click
on the desktop by simply following the below steps:
Step-1 Open the regedit.exe file.
Step-2 Scroll down to or create the following registry key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer]
Step-3 In the right panel, create a new DWORD value named NoViewContextMenu within the above registry key and set its data value to 1 to disable the right click context menu on the desktop, and to 0 to enable it. (Note : you may want to completely delete the DWORD value NoViewContextMenu when you want to enable right click.)
Step-1 Open the regedit.exe file.
Step-2 Scroll down to or create the following registry key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer]
Step-3 In the right panel, create a new DWORD value named NoViewContextMenu within the above registry key and set its data value to 1 to disable the right click context menu on the desktop, and to 0 to enable it. (Note : you may want to completely delete the DWORD value NoViewContextMenu when you want to enable right click.)
It is also possible to implement the above by simply creating and executing sky.reg extension file containing the below:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer]
“NoViewContextMenu”=”0”[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer]
