    1) No context menu

    What will you see when you right click on the
    desktop? You will see a context menu which says arrange icons,
    refresh,..and so on. Are you angry at your friend for not wishing you
    for you B'day? Do you wanna play a trick on a newbie in your family who
    is new to computers? This is a cool trick to play. By this tweak, you
    will be able to disable the right click on the desktop or any
    icons/files/folders/applications... But right click will work on
    taskbar of the start button and registry. So, dont worry!!!
    Open
    your registry and you will see all unknown files like
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT....... and so on. Don't panic. Follow this path.
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER>SOFTWARE>MICROSOFT>WINDOWS>CURRENT
    VERSION>POLICIES>EXPLORER. On the right side of the registry, you
    will see two files(in general) named 'default' and
    'NoDriveTypeAutoRun'. Right click on the empty space in the registry
    and goto New>DWORD VALUE and name it as "NoViewContextMenu".
    Remember, no spaces and N,V,C,M should be capitals. Right click on this
    and click modify. The default value will be 0. Change it to 1. Note:
    DONOT CHANGE THE HEXADECIMAL TO DECIMAL. Click OK. Close your registry
    and logout. Bingo!!! Once you login again, right click wont work. Your
    friend will be perplexed and the next thing he/she does is call the
    system administrator not knowing that not all system administrators
    will be knowing about registry. Now, to enable it again. follow the
    same path and set the value to 0. Logout and then login to see the
    effect.

    2) Reverse the mouse buttons
    This is a cool trick to
    play on newbies. Actually, there are two ways to do this. One is
    changing the settings in the Control panel and the other is through
    editing registry. You can do it either way. But I prefer the second
    way, which is challenging.
    (i) Through Control Panel - goto
    Start> Control Panel> Printers and other hardware> Mouse. In
    Button configuration, enable the switch primary and secondary buttons
    option and click OK. But remember, you have just swapped the mouse
    buttons. So, for OK, you have to click the right mouse button. The
    newbie will be perplexed. Well, this trick is good for left handers.
    (ii)
    Editing the registry - By default the left mouse button is the primary
    and the right is secondary. Open your registry and follow this path:
    HLEY_CURRENT_USER>Control
    Panel>Mouse and on the right side of the registry, create this
    String value(REG_SZ): 'SwapMouseButtons' and set its value to 1.
    Bingo!!! You are done. Log out/Restart the computer.

    You can
    try this: Combine tricks 1 and 2. That means, this will result in
    swapping of the mouse buttons and disabling the left click(once the
    buttons are swapped). User is ready to call system administrator cuz he
    feels that the system is behaving wildly.
