Some users might want to disable the right-click context menu in Windows. So I will tell you how to do it:-

You’ll just need to download this registry file and merge it.

Alternatively, it can also be done by modifying the Windows Registry manually:-

1. Type “regedit” in Start Menu or Run and press enter.
2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies
3. Right-click on Policies and select New>Key. Name the key “Explorer” (without quotes).
4. Now right-click on Explorer and select New>DWORD (32-bit) Value. Name the value “NoViewContextMenu” (without quotes) and double-click on it. Type 1 in the Value Data box.

That’s it. Now restart your PC for changes to take place. If you want to enable it again then delete the DWORD value you have created in Step 4.
