Remove Properties from the Computer icon context menu

This setting hides Properties on the context menu for Computer.

If you enable this setting, the Properties option will not be present when the user right-clicks My Computer or clicks Computer and then goes to the File menu. Likewise, Alt-Enter does nothing when Computer is selected.

If you disable or do not configure this setting, the Properties option is displayed as usual.
