Removing items from the Apple Menu

Using Leopard in a School the pupils are always messing up the dock. I have locked system preferences but they are still able to mess with dock settings by going to dock off of the apple menu. Is it possible to remove this item from the Apple menu or to make it inactive
Thanks

I don't think so. Have you tried checking in 'Parental Controls' section? If there's nothing there you might need a third party software solution. You could always try to contact the Mac Genius bar too, they might know of a 'trick' to remove it.

  • Can I remove items from the Services menu?

    I think the subject line says it all: can I remove items from the Services menu? I have a number of items in the Services menu that I never use and I would like to make the menu shorter to make it easier to access the items that I do use.

    There are a couple of things you could try. There's an application called Service Scrubber that is supposed to do this. But the web page says it's for 10.4, though it says it might work on 10.3
    Alternatively, you can edit the Info.plist or Info-macos.plist file in each application bundle to remove its service from the Services menu. This post at Mac OS X Hints has a pretty detailed description of how to do it. I tried this on my iMac running 10.3.9 and it worked just fine.
    Don't know about the Service Scrubber app, but if you edit the plist files, you'll need to log out and log back in before the changes take effect.
    Also, if you decide to edit the files by hand, I'd suggest just renaming NSServices by adding an "x" to the front or something, rather than deleting the item completely. That makes the changes easier to reverse.

  • Remove items from the Tools menu in the Service Manager console

    Hi. 
    I know I have see a post regarding this before, but just wanted to put it out these once again.  I'd like to remove items from the Tools menu in the Service Manager console - specifically My Notifications and Create Change Request.  This is because
    the former allows a user to create notification subscriptions in incorrect Management Packs, and the latter because we are not using Change Management yet.  Does anyone have any information on how to achieve this?
    Cheers

  • Adding/Removing items from the main menu

    I don't know why my iPod won't let me add or remove items from my main menu.
    I go
    Settings > Main Menu > (check what I want on the main menu) > Reset Main Menu > Reset
    When I go out to the main menu again, nothing has changed.
    Anyone else having this problem? Thank you for help!

    If you do a reset then you're resetting it to default. If you want to change anything ya just change it to on/and or off, then hit the menu button to go back. Don't go all the way to reset. Hope this helps.

  • Removing items from the user menu

    When users log in, they get a menu in the upper right corner of the ribbon that has their user name on it; the welcome menu. This menu has some items on it that I would like to remove because we have disabled "My sites" and because they allow unwanted
    actions..
    The buttons are:
    My Site
    My Profile
    Personalize this Page
    I managed to find the template welcome.ascx for the welcome menu in \14\TEMPLATE\CONTROLTEMPLATES\ and was able to hide the "Personalize this Page" item by adding visible="false" to the menu item template. What I can't find is the menu
    item template for the My Site items. I'm not sure if those items are controlled by the menu template. I think they are controlled by turning off my sites in central admin. I say this because when I click on both menu items, I get a page not found error. I
    think the files for those pages were removed rather than disabling my sites.  Can someone confirm?

    I would not recommend modifying the pages on the server directly. Any future CU or ServicePack could overwrite those changes. If you have backup of those please, you may refer it back.
    And to hide those button, goto User Profile Service Application in Central Admin. You will find Manage User Permissions. There you can uncheck the following to disable the respective buttons
    Uncheck Use Personal Features to hide My Profile
    Uncheck Create Personal Site to hide My Site 
    Uncheck Use Social Features to disable Tagging, Note Board

    How can I remove items from the "Open a Recent File" menue. Many other applications allow the clearing of that file . Is this possible in Adobe Reader 10.1.2 ? If so how?

    It is for Acrobat, but the registry entries are similar for Reader.

    I installed smartboard program from external harddrive and it startups every time I turn on my computer.  I don't need it to start up everytime I open my computer, its annoying having to close it.  How do you remove it from the startup menu....so that it doesn't open everytime I open my computer?

    Try System Preferences>Users & Groups>Login Items. Remove it from there. Other than that contact the vendor.

  • Remove Twitter from the share menu.

    How do I remove twitter from the share menu in Safari 6?
    I have no interest in it being there at all.

    You should let Apple know what you think:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    Perhaps there might be such an option in the future.  For now, I think Apple wants everyone to see that it's there.
    For those that use Twitter it is acutally a cool feature.  Not so much, I guess, for people that don't.

  • System Preferences not working from the Apple Menu

    Howyeh!
    So I made the mistake (for me) of upgrading to Leopard. Discovered that my version of Quark doesn't work at all with it, so had to downgrade back to Tiger. Having done so, and run the combined update, my System Preferences don't work any more, when I try to access them via the Apple menu. They work fine if I go into the Applications folder and manually open them, just not the Apple menu (or if I option click on the desktop background.)
    I've verified/repaired permissions in disk utility, as well run Techtool Pro in an effort to get it working, and deleted the System Preference plists in my users/library/preferences folder.
    Finally, I located the cause of this (I think). All the prefPane files located in the system/library/prefpanes folder are set to open with System Preferences 5.0, which I believe is a Leopard component, which has a completely different icon than good ol' 3.5. I notice too that when I try to run System Preferences from the Apple menu, this odd icon version appears in the "recent items" list.
    Okay - so the upshot seems to be that the version of system preferences being referenced by the system is the newer leopard version. Only thing I could think of doing was zapping the PRAM, but that didn't do the trick. So how can I revert back to the old version being used?

    Ooop, just ignore me. Deleted the System Preferences in the Previous System folder, and everything's hunky dory (for now!)

  • How can we remove items from the VF04 list?

    We have a long list of items in VF04 that, for various reasons (some process related, some due to errors), are not to be billed. We have looked at applying filters to the list but there is nothing really suitable to hide these individual documents e.g. we could filter out some dates where none of the items on that date are to be billed but other dates have a mix of items we want to bill and others we don't.
    I have done a search of this forum but didn't find a previous topic with a quick and simple method to remove items from the list .
    Is there a method, other than billing them or sorting each issue individually, to permanently remove individual documents from the VF04 list?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    David

    Hi,
    David,
    Download a list of Pending delivers doc form VF04.
    Paste the list in T.Code : VL09 (Delivery reversal) and reverse the delivery.
    Then go to T.Code: VL06G Select the list of deliveries that has been reversed, select/delete all un- wanted deliveries.
    This way you can remove all unwanted pending deliveries forn Billing due list (VF04).
    Thanks & Regards,

  • How do you remove items from the assets panel that are duplicated?

    How do you remove items from the assets panel that are duplicated?

    If you add an item to a slideshow, you'll usually see 2 entries for that image in the assets panel - one represents the thumbnail, and the other represents the larger 'hero' image.
    It sounds like you may have added the same image to your slideshow twice. You can select one of the hero images or thumbnail images in your slideshow and use the delete key to remove it. Then the extra 2 entries in the assets panel should disappear.
