New skinner help with hiding the options in the tools dropdown by dbeeve3 on 02-05-2010 at 10:30 PM

I searched around for hours trying to find a skin that had this option already as well as if there was any info on how to do it but much of this is beyond my capability at the moment. I hope to keep learning and eventually be able to understand more but in the mean time I figured I'd ask the experts out there.

Is it possible to hide 'Options' located in the tools drop down menu?

If you need a reason it is to take away the ability of other people to change the settings since messenger plus has a password protection for it's options/settings where the skin could be changed back and forth I figured the simplest way to do what I need would be to created a skin that would hide the options.

I am trying to use windows messenger in a small office environment where it would have a set contacts list and would block all others, incoming or outgoing. The problem is once logged in all the settings can be changed. Originally I thought maybe there was an addon that could password protect the options but alas I cannot find anything that does that.

Please forgive me if I am posting this in the wrong place or have done something wrong that I am not aware of yet as I am new to this community and hope to grow here.

Thanks for reading.

Unfortunately, locking Messenger down to this extent isn't possible, nor is it possible to remove those options using skinning.
