Does your taskbar & start menu settings messed up by someone , you know you can prevent them using taskbar properties , with a simple edit of registry you can disable right clicking on taskbar, this prevents users from getting "taskbar and start menu properties" here's how we do it.
  • Open registry editor
  • Go to the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
  • Now right click on the key, point to new then click DWORD value
  • Name the key as NoTrayContextMenu
  • Now open the key and put 1 in the "value data" field
From the next restart the settings will be effected , you can revert this process by putting 0 to "value data" field, or deleting the key
