    Is it possible to disable that annoying blue box with the diagonal arrow inside it whenever I right-click or highlight text? I manage a Web site on RedDot and right-click a lot but never ever use the accelerators. I have already removed all possible accelerators. Thanks!

    Can't offer any suggestions, but I also wanted to know if anyone knows how to remove the accelerator blue box.

    Go to:
    Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced
    Under the "Browsing" section uncheck "Display Accelerator button on selection".

    Finally got rid of the annoying thing.
