[1803, au] Context menu under search

[synaesthesia]

An astute student has pointed out they can right click in items when searched under the start menu (so hit start, type snipping and you can right click the results for run as admin/open file location etc). The former isn't an issue as it's disabled obviously, however open as file location does exactly that and opens the location in question. Not good. No major damage as it's all read only to them but would rather it wasn't there.

Context menu is disabled via GPO for the start menu itself however that setting clearly doesn't apply to the search results and I can't find a relevant GPO to fix that.

Any hints?

Stop caring about people reading data they have permission to read, fix the actual security issues not the symptoms

They don't have permission to read, that's exactly it; the big security issue would appear to be a windows bug rather than anything else. Regardless, the open file location shouldn't be visible and also isn't a symptom of this issue, it's a catalyst.

OpenContainingFolderMenu Is what you're looking for, but there's a few different locations in the registry depending on which screen/program they do it from e.g. Start menu or explorer etc

Did you find a solution to this?

 

Just discovered this in our test environment and a search brought me here!

Nope, had to pretty much suck it up
