Windows XP Policies - disable right-click

[Vitalix]

Hey guys and gals,

Does anyone know if there is a setting or method for disabling the right-click feature in Windows XP?

I have a policy set that locks down a system, but right-click is still available. It won't do any damage b/c the policy is strapped down pretty good, but the user can still goto Start -> Programs -> Startup and delete a necessary app file.

How can I get around this?

Can I set something in the registry RUN command to start every time the machine reboots without using the startup folder?

Thanks in advance as always!

Well, no - but you could schedule a batch-file to be run during each shut-down (yes, its possible, as shown below) which will have this line in it:

del /Q /F "%UserProfile%\Start Menu\Startup\*.*"

And you can schedule it by:

1. run "gpedit.msc"

2. Navigate to "Local Computer Policy >> Computer Configuration >> Windows Settings >> Scripts >> Shutdown"

3. Add whatever you want to be run at every shut-down.

Hoping this helps....
