How to disable "Explore" in the right-click context menu.

Hello All,

I am working on to deploy Terminal Services for visitors. I need to
disable "Explore" in the right-click context menu. I know how to
disable the right-click context menu completely, but that is not what
I want to. I just want to remove that "Explorer" item or gray it out.

)

And now page 2:
I also want to disable the "Open Folder" button when you download and
save a file using IE.
(screenshot at http://security-basics.blogspot.com/...en-folder.html
)

Any thoughts on how these can be achieved?

Thanks

Saqib Ali,

Delete the following registry key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\explore

That will remove 'explore' from the context menu
