Thanks Murray. But do you know which config files and parameters are
affected? My concern is that all my laptops have been distributed Europe
wide and no Kiosk tool is installed on them.  I must now find out which
files must be updated and prepare an update cd accordingly.

If anybody knows, please inform me.

Many thanks in advance

Hi Daniel,

You should be able to lock it down in the Kiosk Tool GUI by editing a
Kiosk profile and under Panel, check the Disable Context menus box.
Works for me OK.
