Disable Properties Option Under My Computer

A registry hack that disables the Properties option under the My Computer icon.

1. Click Start > Run and type REGEDIT

2. Click the plus sign next to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (KEY_CURRENT_USER if you want it to apply to only the user that’s logged in)
then SOFTWARE
then Microsoft
then Windows

then CurrentVersion
then Policies
then Explorer

3. Right-click Explorer and select New > DWORD Value.

4. Give the value a name of NoPropertiesMyComputer.

5. Double-click on the NoPropertiesMyComputer value and give it a value data of 1.

Now the Properties option under My Computer will be disabled. It will be visible, but nothing will happen when you click on it.
