Disable right click group policy windows server 2016
To disable right-click functionality using Group Policy on
Windows Server 2016, you can follow these steps:
1. Open Group Policy Management Console:
Press `Win + R` to
open the Run dialog.
Type `gpmc.msc` and
press Enter.
2. Create a new Group Policy Object (GPO) or edit an
existing one:
In the left pane,
expand the forest and domain, and navigate to the desired organizational unit
(OU) or domain where you want to apply the policy.
Right-click on the
OU or domain, and select "Create a GPO in this domain, and Link it
here" to create a new GPO or right-click on an existing GPO and select
"Edit" to modify an existing one.
3. Navigate to the User Configuration:
In the Group Policy
Management Editor, navigate to `User Configuration -> Policies ->
Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> File Explorer`.
4. Find and configure the policy:
Look for a policy
named "Remove File Explorer's default context menu" and double-click
on it.
5. Configure the policy settings:
Set the policy to
"Enabled".
In the
"Options" section, click on "Show" to display the context
menu items you want to remove.
Add "Context
Menu" to the list of items.
6. Apply the policy:
Close the Group
Policy Management Editor.
7. Update Group Policy on client machines:
Run `gpupdate
/force` in the command prompt on the client machines, or wait for the Group
Policy to be applied during the next update cycle.
After applying these settings, users on the affected
machines should no longer be able to right-click and access the context menu on
the desktop or File Explorer. Keep in mind that modifying group policies can
have a significant impact on the user experience, so it's recommended to test
the changes in a controlled environment before deploying them to production.
