XP Embedded + Disable right click mouse 1

[jackietpy]

Hi,

We are using the Wyse XP embedded thin client. We have done some customization on the thin client for the user. Does any can advice how to disable the right click button from the mouse to prevent the user using it.

Thank you

Regards

JT

All mousey things happen here in the Registry but you seem only to have the option to swap left and right and not to disable it. You have the same options via the Control Panel/ Mouse.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse

Short of mechanically tampering with the Mouse I can't think of anything else. Even if it were possible there is always Keyboard shortcuts available.

Windows keyboard shortcuts overview (See Help and Support program).

SHIFT+F10 Opens a shortcut menu for the selected item (this is the same as right-clicking an object.

1. Use regedit directly
Open the Windows Registry

Goto the following path
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer"

create a new DWORD value named "NoViewContextMenu".

set its value to "1" to disable right click.
set its value to "0" to enable right click.


2. Or, create a .REG file

To Enable Right mouse button
************************
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoViewContextMenu"=dword:00000000

************************

To Disable the right mouse button
************************
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoViewContextMenu"=dword:00000001
************************

Copy the required script, and paste it into "Notepad". Save the file as no_mouse_right.reg or enable_mouse_right.reg or whatever you care to do.

Double click to modify the registry, or use regedit /s filename.reg in the logon script.
