Policy: Remove Drag-and-drop context menus on the Start Menu
Description: Prevents users from using the drag-and-drop method to reorder
or remove items on the Start menu. Also, it removes context menus from the
Start menu. If you disable this setting or do not configure it, users can
remove or reorder Start menu items by dragging and dropping the item. They
can display context menus by right-clicking a Start menu item. This setting
does not prevent users from using other methods of customizing the Start
menu or performing the tasks available from the context menus. Also, see the
Prevent changes to Taskbar and Start Menu Settings and the Remove access to
the context menus for taskbar settings.
Registry Value: "NoChangeStartMenu"
