Guest Saqib Ali Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 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. (screenshot at http://security-basics.blogspot.com/2007/08/how-to-disable-explore-and-open-folder.html ) And now page 2: I also want to disable the "Open Folder" button when you download and save a file using IE. (screenshot at http://security-basics.blogspot.com/2007/08/how-to-disable-explore-and-open-folder.html ) Any thoughts on how these can be achieved? Thanks Saqib Ali http://security-basics.blogspot.com/
