Disabling Client Features with the Security Editor
Using the Security option, you can remove commands from the menus, disable buttons on toolbars and QuickPads, and disable keys on keyboard maps. For example, if you want to prevent users from creating a new session, you can remove the New Session option from the File menu. All changes are kept in a Scheme file (.ESF). This file can be password protected, uploaded to MCS, and then distributed to users on your network. On Windows 2000 and Windows XP systems, you can configure users with read-only access to the Scheme file.
A default Scheme file (default.esf), with all client features enabled, is automatically installed in the Schemes directory. You can either edit the default Scheme file, or save it under a new name and then modify the new version.
