    I need a good Windows 7 registry guide online
    I need to block some of the right click (context menu) functions in Windows 7 and need to know the registry entries that control this.

    Thanks - but if I use these it will kill it for anyone who uses the machine even admins, right?
    I need to disable it only for students. Specifically, I need to control access to the new context menu items like - "Troubleshoot Compatibility" and "Open file location" etc

    Do some research on Group Policies. This can help you setup groups and lock down certain features for them.
