    Disable right mouse click when in Full screen mode

    I have a workbook that runs in full screen mode from the start. All command bars are hidden. This is to keep the users IN this program and not to allow them access to the computer in any way. This has worked great except that I just found that by right clicking on the little bar at the top they can click Restore, Minimize or even CLOSE! If they were to click close then this could have some really bad effects.

    I have tried disableing right click in windows but that doesn't affect Excel it seems. It still seems like a windows problem to me but I really don't know. Can anyone help?

    (yes, I have searched a lot for this answer in this forum and others)

    Hi clayton,
    I have some code that will prevent right click in WorkBook & on WorkSheet BUT you can still click
    on the top bar and get what you describe. So i think you need to look at "application" code, which
    would be for the bars on top. I can't help you with that, but i wanted to give you my opinion,
    about the application..
    Thx
    Dave

    Yes, I think you are correct. So if anyone knows what application code I need then please let me know
