Classic Shell: Forum

Hi,

Id like to disable right click on the start menu entirely.. how do i do that?

To disable right click inside the menu, go to Classic Start Menu settings, enable All Settings. Go the Context Menu tab and uncheck "Enable right-click menu".

To disable right click options that appear when you right click the Start button, uncheck "Enable Exit" and "Enable Windows Explorer" on the same tab. The Settings item can be disabled from the registry by adding a DWORD value "EnableSettings" and setting it to 0 at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu. To hide the "Help" item, rename or delete the Help file at C:\Program Files\Classic Shell\ClassicShell.chm.

I am a Windows enthusiast and helped a little with Classic Shell's testing and usability/UX feedback.

Thanks, its gone now.

I made the registry setting EnableSettings and set it to 0 however users can still log on and right click the menu and choose Exit.

What am I missing?

I am using this on our terminal server so I just want to limit what users can do.

Thanks

You need to set "EnableExit" to 0. What you've done is you disabled the settings from the right-click menu.

Great thanks! Would it be the same for Open All Users (EnableOpenAllUsers)?

No, you need to set "EnableExplorer" to 0. It will remove the context menu items that open Explorer.
