Editing default menu options

Post by jimmyg »

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

Hi and welcome to the club,

could you give a complete list of the options that you would like to disable?

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.
Thanks again for any thoughts,

Jim

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...

Being curious: Is this for a company?

Thanks,

Ya, I understand and appreciate the time to consider it.

Yes, It's for a small nonprofit family counseling center I support.

Thanks again,
