Yea.. its the issue with the software, many companies keep such kind of weird restrictions.. poorly designed software.. IMO nothing can be done..

Don't do that if u don't know what u r doing...modifying registry can cause issues in system...
u have to be professional while editing the registry

What's there is cut, copy n paste. Just use the keyboard shortcuts.
This is not a big deal.

BTW .. I suspect the application is using Windows/mouse hooks to modify the behavior of the mouse. its a old school technique to gain control of windows/hardware. I am amazed people still use this technique :D (or the software is old :razz:)

It is the only way to capture messages in Windows API, that's why.

Right click can also be easily disabled by javascript in a web application (if that's the case).

document.onmousedown=disableRightClick;
Function disableRightClick(e)
{
if(e.button==2)
{
return false;
}
}

Disabling the javascript in browser may solve your problem, but other JS functionality will also stop working.

Lol, I've churned out likes of these aplenty (click blocker, double-click fixer, key remapper, etc.) and I just don't get when people code such things in .NET :|

^Did you tried editing registry?

Create a DWORD value named "NoViewContextMenu" under "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" with values 0/1 (Enable/disable). Do same thing in local machine if this doesn't works.
