How to Disable Right Click in Your Internet Explorer Toolbar

If you own a computer, you likely have your particular preferences for how each program is configured. This may also be true for your Internet Explorer toolbar, which can easily be modified by right-clicking it and changing its options. If you have a set way that you like your toolbar to be and do not want others to change it, you can disable the right-click options via the registry.

Instructions

1. Click "Start," type "regedit.exe" without the quotes and press "Enter." This will open the Registry Editor.

2. Navigate to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Policies/Explorer."

3. Right-click the right-hand pane. Select "New," followed by "DWORD."

4. Type "NoToolbarCustomize" in the "Name" field. Type "1" in the "Value" field.

5. Close the registry and restart Internet Explorer. You will still be able to right-click the toolbar, but all of the changes you were able to make before will be disabled.
