Disable 'right click' in windows
 

First up, I'm not talking about disabling the right click in IE or any other browser - I'm talking about windows itself.

My friend is teaching his dad (70+) to use the internet, however, he's having problems with the mouse buttons - what my friend would ideally like is either for the right button to do nothing, or to do the same as the left button, preferrably set at the user level.

I had a quick google, and found this - but I don't think my friend would be too confident in altering the registry... anyone got any bright ideas?

how about creating a .reg file to automate it for him?

you should be able to configure the buttons for the mouse through control Panel

Mine only allows me to swap over the functions of the buttons

Could just wedge something under the button so that it can't be depressed.
