Photoshop workflow setup

Question

Hi,
I need some help with Photoshop Scripting.
What I need to do is to avoid users to create new document or open an existing one (except the one I've loaded).
What I have done so far is to insert in the "Script Event Manager" some script for the "open document" and "new document" event.
The script simply close the activeDocument in that way:
app.activeDocument.close();
(I have also put an alert that tells the user that can not open or create new document..)
What I want to do is something more complex: I want to stop photoshop to show the default open window (or the create new file window) and, instead, shows a message or something that tells the user that this two functions will not be available.
I also want to hide the "Script Event Manager" to avoid the user to edit an action that I use in the "save document" event, to save a JPG version of the document (if and only if the document is a PSD).
Can anyone help me, please?

I agree with Paul. I don't think that kind of application control is possible with scripting.
I don't know of any way to 'hide' that there is an event handler from the user. You could of course binhex the script to hide the contents of the script itself. But the user would still be able to disable the event or replace your script with something else.
