I was wondering if anybody knows of an easy way to disable right-clicks system wide in Windows XP. I want to restrict the user in the environment that i am creating so as to remove any accidental confusion.
Any help would be much appreciated.
P.S. No a hardware solution to this problem isn't really a possibility.
You could do this with Autohotkey, which lets you, among other things, remap almost every key, including mouse buttons.
This would be a two-liner, but would require to run a lightweight exe to run background.

See the awesome helpfile for details 
Thanks a lot, very useful app.
I did however find a very easy way to do it which i feel a little stupid admitting, but that is to go into the Mouse settings in Control Panel, where you can set the functions of the different mouse buttons and set them all to left click! 
Disabling right click doesn't do the trick - most context menus are also available in the edit menu. Then there is the menu key on Win95-style keyboards.
What you really need to do is dig into the MS Policy editor - poledit.exe on your XP Professional CD.
There, craft some policies and lock down non-admin users. I have seen kiosk PCs that only have three items in the start menu, and only "My Documents" visible in explorer.

Yeh... if you dig around a little bit Group Policy Editor you can get it done more effectively.
I use Tweak-UI powertoy for XP and it has Group Policy Editor shortcut in it.
Thanks a lot herd, i didn't know about this feature at all
I'm basically building a kiosk-esque system, but it's for use by the employees as opposed to the clients, so i'm not too worried about locking down the system completely because they are a "known entity".
autohotkey, can the keys be switched around so that when pressing R for example it types in a T and so on?
and how would that be done?
