Creating a locked down install? (1 Viewer)

I'm using the latest RC2 release of MP and setting up a media centre on my PC. When I've finished this setup I will be replicating this onto my Set Top Box PC for use in the lounge on my TV. I want to display a lot of the options that MP makes available in a "locked down" build. For example, I want to remove many of the options on the "i" MENU (right mouse click) popup menu to prevent family from changing the way the box is working. Typically,m the things I want to disable are the options to creating thumbnails in the "My Pictures" plugin. Also, I'd like to disable the options to delete playlists, delete the music from the database.

Basically, once I've setup the way I want MP to work I don't want to show options that impact on the "look and feel".

How can I achieve this?

Regards
Barrie Smith

    Grab the code, search the "OnShowContextMenu" implementations, comment out unneeded features and set unwanted skin controls to visible=false :)

    So not much options if you do not want to modify MP for yourself...

    And Movies, this i wish could be implemented under every section of config, fingers do slip sometimes.
