Hi,
I need to find a way to restrict the right-click context menus in
various applications, including the context menu on the Windows
desktop. For example, I would like to be able to remove "Properties"
from the Desktop context menu to stop users being able to change
screen settings - however, I don't want to stop the contect menu from
appearing altogether because I do want the user to be able to get to
the "Arrange Icons By" setting.

I assumed I would be able to find a utility to do this, or
alternatively the registry settings (or similar) to allow me to do it
myself. However, all of the utilities and advice I have found relate
to menu items added by other applications - not those controlled by
the Windows operating system

Can anybody give me some help?

Thanks
