    Disabling Menu Items?

    It seems to me I saw something about this once, but I can't find anything
    about it now. Is it possible to disable menu items, perhaps with a signed
    script?

      No, it's not possible to disable individual menu options. I'm going to assume
      your request is for a private companies Intranet, rather than the public
      Internet, because on the public Internet, attempting that level of control
      over the user agent is pointless, since I can defeat any attempt you make to
      control my user agent.

      If you need that level of control over the user agent, and it's an Intranet,
      and you're using Internet Explorer, you may want to look into using an HTA.
      You could open the HTA in a new window with no default menu and build your
      own menuing system using client-side JavaScript.

          It depends on which menu you're talking about. If you mean the actual browser
          (File, Edit, View, etc), then unless you're doing HTA with MSIE, no, you
          can't.
          If you mean a menu you're using for navigation, it depends on which one
          you're using.
          If you mean the context menu that comes up when you right-click, you can make
          a new context menu, but users can set their browsers to stop you.
