How to disable "Explore" in the right-click context menu.

[Guest Saqib Ali]

Hello All,

 

I am working on to deploy Terminal Services for visitors. I need to

disable "Explore" in the right-click context menu. I know how to

disable the right-click context menu completely, but that is not what

I want to. I just want to remove that "Explorer" item or gray it out.

)

 

And now page 2:

I also want to disable the "Open Folder" button when you download and

save a file using IE.

)

 

Any thoughts on how these can be achieved?

 

Thanks

Saqib Ali,

 

Delete the following registry key:

 

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\explore

 

That will remove 'explore' from the context menu
