Please tell me how I can disable the Ctrl-Click shortcut

I have a three (or more) button mouse, and have had for years.
Many applications and website need to use the Ctrl key as a modifier for certain actions. However, on my Mac trying to do this always brings up the bloody right-click pop-up menu.
I do not need the Ctrl-click command, but can find no way to turn it off. Does anyone know how this can be done? Or is there some shareware/freeware app I can download to turn off this annoying feature (similar to Cocktail, or other utilities)?
I urgently need help with this. Thank you.
Best,
A.

If any Mac apps are using control-clicks for something other than contextual menus, I'd be surprised. Of course, seems to me that if an app's developers want to use control-click for something else, it would either work, and you wouldn't have a problem, or it wouldn't work, and thus the app wouldn't use control-click that way.
Which means I'm not sure I understand your problem. When you say things are using "the Ctrl key as a modifier", what exactly does that mean, and how is that colliding with a control-click? What applications and web sites are the culprits?
