Disabling "Send Page by E-mail"

[Tom K]

Is there a way to disable this functionality in IE7? It would really be

cool to do it with Group Policy, but any way would do.



Thanks,



Tom

I don't know that there is a way (or not) to cut this feature from the Right

Click menu, but there's no way to keep a user from copying the URL and

pasting it into an e-mail message and sending it. So, while you might

conceiveably prevent a user from directly sending a Webpage, there's no way

to keep the user from doing it indirectly so I'm not sure what you hope to

gain.

Is the Windows version(s) in question a secret or...?

Does it matter?



The question has to do with a mouse feature whereby one Right Clicks an

active Webpage and a list of options comes up where one of them is to send

page by e-mail. This is a feature of IE7 -- and all of the others for that

matter -- not the host operating system.

This may come as a surprise to you, Jeff, but Internet Explorer is part

of the Windows operating system. It's not a separate program. Therefore,

knowing what version of Windows with what service pack is a valid question.



Furthermore, context menus are a feature of Windows, not Internet

Explorer 7.

1. Yes, it matters.

That's no way to be.



If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. It's far better

to be nice and dumb than to be a smart ass.

No secret, just an omission on my part -- Windows XP SP2 or SP3.



Thanks,



Tom

If you've got WinXP SP2 boxes, you will want to see

Thanks, but we're not applying SP3 after IE7 until we're sure we don't have

to back it off. All I'm really interested in is disabling the "Send Page by

E-mail" functionality in the browser.
