Disabling right click altogether is a sledgehammer solution to crack a nut.
If you disable ability to right-click, then a lot of useful functionality in
windows is lost. Would your users be running you app only?

You said your users "accidently" close the app... Right clicking on a
systray icon and choosing Close/Exit seems more intentional than accidental
to me.

However the same policy should apply to windows XP that you used in windows
2000. I'm not sure which policy that would be though. Need more details.
