Disabling the Right-Click features of the Start Button

Disabling the Right-Click features of the Start Button

Normally, when you right click on the Start button, it allows you to open your programs folder, the Explorer and run Find. There are times where you don’t want to allow users to be able to do this in order to secure your computer.

To resolve this:

1.Open RegEdit 2.Search for Desktop 3.This should bring you to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory 4.Expand this section

5.Under Shell is Find

6.Delete Find

7.Move down a little in the Registry to Folder

8.Expand this section and remove Explore and Open

Now when you right click on the Start button, nothing should happen. Delete only those items that you need to.

Note: On Microsoft keyboards, this also disables the Window-E (for Explorer) and Window-F (for Find) keys.
