Hello All,
I would like to know is there any way by which we can stop users from right
clicking on Start button.I have got one post where in they have restricted
users from accessing Explore-Open-Search options from RightClick-Start.But in
this case I need to modify the Root registry entries.What I am looking for is
something which I can do at users level instead of System level - with GPO.I
am posting the post which I came accross.
Please let me know if there is any way other than this.

Open your registry and find the key [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell] then
rename it from 'shell' to 'shell.old'.
Do the same with the key [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell] and rename it to
[...\shell.old].

Once complete the two original keys should now be called
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell.old] and
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell.old] respectively.

Now when you right click on the start button, you should no longer be given
the option to Open, Explore or Find.
