Desktop Context Menu
By default, when a user
right clicks on the desktop in Windows XP a context menu is
displayed. Implementing the Enable/Disable Desktop Context Menu edit
will remove the ability to display a context menu by right clicking
the desktop, items on the desktop, and items in Windows Explorer. It
does not disable context menus in Internet Explorer. This registry
edit can be set either on a user or machine basis.
