How do I disable right clicking on the start/programs or start/any other folder in windows 2k server? I'm not looking for disabling right clicking on the start button.
Thanks..

Go into GPEDIT.MSC and look at the desktop or explorer (don't remember which) and it should cover this.

The admins who had built the server before had it set like that. These are terminal servers. They wanted to keep users from adding things to the menu.
Thanks for all of the posts.

The way they had stopped people from altering the menu was by disabling right clicking after you click start..

They can right click on the start button itself, but if they click on start and the menu pops up they can't right click it..

This Web Site is worth looking at: Group Policy Registry Table
Code:
$Explorer = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer"
WriteValue($Explorer,"NoViewContextMenu","1","REG_DWORD")
Quote:
Description
Removes shortcut menus from the desktop and Windows Explorer. Shortcut menus appear when you right-click an item.
This entry stores the setting of the Disable Windows Explorer's default context menu Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry with a value of 1 when you enable the policy. If you disable the policy or set it to Not configured, Group Policy deletes the entry from the registry and the system behaves as though the value is 0.
Value Meaning
0 (or not in registry) The policy is disabled or not configured. Shortcut menus appear.
1 The policy is enabled. Shortcut menus are hidden.
When the value of this entry is 1, menus do not appear when you right-click the desktop or when you right-click the items in Windows Explorer. This value does not prevent users from using other methods to issue commands available on the shortcut menus.

I think I found it. I had to rebuild the server about a month ago and didn't put it in the Terminal Servers OU. There is a group policy on the OU called "Prevent changes to Taskbar and start menu settings" that prevents the right clicking. I should've checked that earlier.
I do thank everyone for their posts though.
Thanks.
