I’m sure something like this has been asked before but I can’t find anything. I am working on making a controlled kiosk-ish folder manager. Using the admin.ini settings I am almost there but there are some menu options that I would like to get rid of if possible. Like “Customize Toolbar..” And the File > Open, File > Open Width… options. These menu options along with a few others would present some fairly easy methods to circumvent the restrictions I used the admin.ini to implement.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jimmyg

Re: Editing default menu options
Hi and welcome to the club,
could you give a complete list of the options that you would like to disable?

Re: Editing default menu options
Thanks for responding Don!,
Here is a quick list of what I would like to restrict; with SO MANY options and being new to XYplorer I think it will be a while before I feel comfortable giving a complete list.

- -The File > Open will be my biggest problem.
-all the options under Tools.
-Go > Go to application data folder
-Go > Go to application folder
-File > Special Settings
-Right Click (root folder in tab windows)> Special System Folders
-Right Click (tab window) > New path could respect the folder restrictions in the admin file and not create a path to a restricted location
-Right Click (toolbar) > Customize Toolbar…
*Also it would be nice if when the user accessed a restricted location “Location not allowed by Access Control” the path would not be automatically added to the Mini Tree. I think that will just confuse some users since they cant access it anyway.

Re: Editing default menu options
Hmm, a large list. Frankly, I won't get to this in the next time. And there is a larger feature on my list that might cover the whole topic in a different way. So, it all need time and more thinking...

Thanks,
Ya, I understand and appreciate the time to consider it.
Yes, It's for a small nonprofit family counseling center I support.
