Well, - as useless as it may seem - yes there IS a way, although it *may*
depend on your mouse's software utility. In Control Panel | Mouse, you *may* have a 'Buttons' tab which *may* give you the option to select 'Unassigned' for your right-button (or any other button or wheel, for that matter) Just be sure to make a note of each button's current function BEFORE you change it - you *might* want to revert back!! You could always use Sytem Restore to bring it back g Mart "Matthew Laping" wrote in message ... Is there a way to disable the right mouse click in Win ME? Thank you, Matthew |

To protect ourselves from workers. I have 20 machines that have a single
program to run. I have them configured to basically just run this one application. They have no need for the right mouse click, so I don't want them messing with anything. I was hoping that there was a registry setting. I already have a .vbs that modifies the registry to put the machine in lock down mode and to unlock it, so it would the best thing is if there was a registry setting.

We were using Logitech mice that allowed this ability when you installed the
driver. We recently purchased some optical mouse and it doesn't come with a driver that gives you this ability. Thank you, Matthew "Mart" wrote in message ...

Mmm... Yes, I have a Packard Bell (Logitech) USB cable mouse which allows it
and a Medion USB optical mouse which doesn't. My 'guess' is that is a function of the mouse manufacturer's driver software. So, if you can spend some time yourself, poking about the registry with the Logitech driver/mouse, you *may* be able to find the relevant key (switch it on & off and look for the change) for yourself and 'try' to translate the 'switch' to the optical mouse driver registry entry. But I suppose it is unlikely that the two keys would be the same. Maybe a call to you optical mouse manufacturers Support Line? As you've got 20 of these rodents, then you might have a bit more clout than the rest of us g Some detective work on your part - Good luck Mart "Matthew Laping" wrote in message ...
