Found another Answer: Disable right-click on Start Menu in W2K

I've gotten to used to regedit, and forgot about regedt32 where you can set 
permissions!

In regedt32 I went to:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell]

and set the student user account permissions for those keys to "deny" and 
viola!  The can still right click and see "explore" but when they click on 
explore they get an error alert and are denied access.  Much rather not 
have the right click menus show up at all, but hey, this still does the job.

You can also rename each of the \shell above to \shell.old but that will 
prevent ALL users, including administrators, from using the right click 
menus on the Start Menu.

TTFN,
