Hello Customer,
Thank you for posting here.
From your post, I understand that the clients cannot open desktop contextmenu.
I suggest you check following settings:
Step 1: Check the GPO settings
=======
1. Edit the GPO linked to the security group.
2. Expand User Configuration-->Administrative Templates-->Windows
Components-->Windows Explorer
3. Disable 'Remove Windows Explorer's default context menu'
4. Run gpupdate /force on the client, log off and then log on the client.
Please check if the issue persists. If yes, please check following registry
keys:
Step 2:
======
To Enable/Disable for Current User
1. Click Start-->Run, type Regedit and click OK.
2. Navigate to following key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explore
r
Modify/Create the Value Data Type(s) and Value Name(s) as detailed below.
Data Type: DWORD
Value Name: NoViewContextMenu
Setting for Value Data: 0
Exit Registry and Reboot
To Enable/Disable for Local Machine
1. Click Start-->Run, type Regedit and click OK.
2. Navigate to following key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explore
r
Modify/Create the Value Data Type(s) and Value Name(s) as detailed below.
Data Type: DWORD
Value Name: NoViewContextMenu
Setting for Value Data: 0
Exit Registry and Reboot
I hope the above information is helpful to you. However, if the issue
persists, please help me gather following information:
1. GP result
========
On the problematic clients, type the following command in command prompt,
and then press ENTER:
"gpresult -Z > C:\gpresult_z.txt" (without the quotation marks)
This creates a list of the implemented policies on the machine in the
following text file: C:\gpresult_z.txt. Please send this file to
v-mzhuan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
2. Please download the MPS Report tool from the following link and run it
on the SBS server, then send the generated CAB file to my mailbox
v-mzhuan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx for further investigation so that we can find what
the root cause is:

concern, please feel free to let me know.

| I have a user who can no longer access context menus (right click on
desktop
| to see menus). This has occured ever since I temporarily added them to a
| security group. (I have since removed them).
|
| My gut is that a group policy setting was triggered to disable this
setting,
| and then when I removed them it was set to be "not configured". Is there
a
| way to enable the context menu under some sort of local policy setting?
If
| not, any other thoughts on how to fix this issue?
|
| Thanks!
