Hi Team,

Is there way to apply to propagate this settings in the GPO, our dc are windows server 2012 & 2016.
Our restriction on not allowing the agents to access notepad, wordpad & MS Office still accessing even we created a GPO for this. 

Already visited various forums and all their suggestions leads to tweaking in the registry.

Hi,

1. Create a new group policy and link it to the OU with the users you want to be affected.

2. Edit the new policy - In the left pane navigate to:

User Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ Windows Components \ Windows Explorer

3. Enable the setting Remove Windows Explorer's Default Context Menu.

Or check this similar case GPO to prevent right clicking on desktop
