hi all,
is there a way to programatically disable certain menu items of programs
like MSWORD,EXCEL etc, or even for MSPAINT, NOTEPAD???
Here is what I want to do…
If the user has certain provileges then some optins like Print would be
enabled, else not.
How to do it, may be by hooking, dll injection etc, any technique???

May I know what you are trying to develop?
Because what I sense is that you will end up in the same mess as one guy
once landed who was trying to prevent a user (based on previledges) from
copying some document or its part.
If menu Items is your only concern then yes they can be disabled! but what
about accelarator keys (Ctrl + P)?
There’s a thing called google if you haven’t heard of it before…
NTDEV is a driver dev list; not intended for userland apps in case you
missed that little item.
If you don’t know how to search the internet, don’t know how to locate
information in the sdk, msdn ect., just hire a programmer and stop
playing dress-up.

Define proper object ACL, in most cases, you needn’t write code.
Don’t care about how application take care of menu.

No.
This is a KERNEL DRIVER development group. This is NOT a beginning user
basic user programming group.
What you want to do is normally done with standard windows security settings
that are designed to lock down a machine. Go find msdn and read about
security.
