Disable Skin Menu Access via right click.

Post by ratman »

I have created a desktop via multiple skins. However i need to remove menu access to stop users fiddling. I need to retain skin icon useability IE click on an icon and launch applications and URL links ( so settings - click through ) is not what I am after.

Just disable users access to menu.

If anyone has any ideas that would be great.

Ciao.

Sorry folks, couldnt find the answer before I posted, but I just found one now.

So the answer i was seeking was :
RightMouseDownAction=!Execute

Problem gone all working now.
:oops:

Disabling right click on an individual skin is as easy as adding:

RightMouseDownAction=""

To the [Rainmeter] section of the skin.

I think you can do the same thing in the [Rainmeter] section of Rainmeter.ini to disable right click on the tray icon in the notification area as well, but be aware that this is only the most surface type of security and easy to get around. Rainmeter is not really designed to to support truly locking it down, so there would need to be other steps in Windows itself involving access rights to particular folders, group policies, etc.
