What is the registry hack for disabling the ability of right clicking in IE?
Thanks

My question to you is, why are you attempting to disable the right click
button in the first place. As far as knowing what the registry entry is to
delete to do this, I don't have a clue. You might want to attempt
Microsoft's Knowledge Base to get an answer for this.

Are you trying to disable it on one user's machine or on a
website you manage?
Usually people do this to attempt to prevent images or text
from being copied. The usual route is using javascript to
stop it. Anyone who really wants it knows that the
content/images are already saved on their machine, or they
turn off javscript and save it anyways.

Its to prevent people from coping images and changing the wallpaper on a PC.
I have done it before through the registry but I can't find out how I did
it....

[HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions]
Name: NoBrowserContextMenu
Type: REG_DWORD
Data : 1 (Enabled) 0 (Disabled)
This would be a per user setting. For all users, then change HKCU to HKLM.
