Disable context menu in Internet Explorer web pages.

Some features and behaviors of Internet Explorer can be controlled by the user. One of them is to disable the context menu which appears in Internet Explorer web pages.

Tweak for : Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows 2000, Windows Vista

Description:

You can control some features and behaviors of Internet Explorer. If you press the right mouse button in Internet Explorer, the context menu appears. You can disable the feature with this setting.

Important:
Even if you enable context menu on web pages, all the open Internet Explorer windows will not show this menu.

For this, go to Start > Run menu, enter “regedit” and navigate to the registry path listed below. You can create a DWORD value “NoBrowserContextMenu” at HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry paths, if this value does not exist.

Now, right-click and modify the value to “1” which disables the context menu option in Internet Explorer web pages. However, if you want to get back to the original state, change the value to “0”.

Restart Internet Explorer for the changes to take effect.

NOTE:
This feature works on Internet Explorer version 5 and above.
