Thanks Paul, this may work but its not very scalable and its up to the user
to resolve. I was looking more at an administrative option to turn this
option off at a machine level, not user level. I have been able to disable
most of the configuration stuff from a users medaling mouse clicks to lock
it down in an enterprise environment. I was wishing to do the same for this
problem.
