Disable right-clicks in PowerPoint

When you are showing a slide show in PowerPoint, it's really messes up your presentation when you accidentally right-click your mouse (or you hit the wrong button on the remote that simulates this) and a menu pops up in the middle of your slide.

You can keep this from happening in PowerPoint 2007 (and probably in later version too) by adjusting a setting.

In PowerPoint, Click the Office button (the one with the logo) and then select PowerPoint Options from the menu.

In the left pane of the Options window, click on the Advanced option.

In the right pane, below the Slide Show heading, uncheck Show menu on right mouse click.

Then click OK as needed to save your changes. Once you make this change, the right-click on the mouse will be disable when you are in a slide show. This will keep you from messing up your presentation.
