If you simply want to disable context menus but leave the notification
area alone then open gpedit.msc and browse to this item:

User Configuration-->Administrative Templates-->Windows
Components-->Start Menu and Taskbar--> Remove Access to the context
menus for the taskbar

Set this to enabled

If you want to remove the notification area completely (clock will also
go by-by):

User Configuration --> Administrative Templates --> Windows Components
--> Start Menu and Taskbar --> Hide Notification Area

Set this to enabled
