How to disable context menu in Popup2 Thread last updated on 2003-06-01 12:50:48

There is this feature added to Popup2.dll capable of displaying context menu when right clicked. Is there a way to disable such feature? I tried disabling the context menu in the registry but it only works on the windows explorer.

A bit crazy solution: get the popup2 sources, than cleanup implementations of RInvoke function in CommandItem, DirectoryFolder and ShellFolder classes. Rebuild and enjoy :)

But why you want to disable it?

Thanks! I will try it. Will let you know how it turns out.
I am trying to use LiteStep as Kiosk GUI.

I would like a way to disable this as well. Problem is a right click on desktop sometimes pops up the popup menu AND the context menu for whatever item the mouse is over on the popup menu. For example, if I right click on my desktop near the bottom of the screen, sometimes my mouse will coincidentally be over my "step.rc" entry in popup, so the context menu will come up as well. It's very annoying.

Your suggestion works and my popup2.dll becomes a bit smaller. Thanks again!

I will be glad to send you the modified popup2.dll if you want to.

I just wish that the context menu could be just a featured option that can be disabled/enabled with a bang command to all related ls modules. I am not really good at coding c yet.
