Hello Naveen Vuppala,

Here are the steps you can try:

1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
2. Type "regedit" and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
3. Navigate to the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
4. Right-click on the Explorer key and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.
5. Name the new value "NoDeleteKey" and set its value to 1.
6. Right-click on the Explorer key again and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value.
7. Name the new value "NoCtrlKey" and set its value to 1.
8. Close the Registry Editor and restart the computer.

After completing these steps, the user will no longer be able to use the Delete key or the Ctrl key in Windows Explorer. Please note that modifying the registry can be risky, so it's important to back up your registry before making any changes.

Best Regards,
Hania Lian
