laff... the Asian grad students always try to pull that shit. One of them keeps uninstalling his SMS client, even though SMS just reinstalls itself during the next hardware scan.

Say you have employees with the browsing habbits equivalent to those of a group of 12 year old backstreet boy fans. They are mucking up your network and screwing up their computers.
P2P file sharing, hotbar, save now, gator, claria, edonkey etc...

I see it - a new holy crusade. This plauge upon PCs must end!

Fine idea, but most corporate environments are 100% Microsoft houses - IE rules that roost (10 times out of 10 very well too, we just need more access control).

Just disable about:config and kill the menu link to the settings then recompile. People can still configure it, but they're the same people who are uninstalling our sms client
