Multiple users access CE on my domain. CE is used to generate document templates. I have no need or desire for them to access the file manager aspects.

Specifically, when they click on the Add Image icon, a window pops up. In that window are two big boxes. The left hand box gave a file path error. I disabled the error by commenting out the response.write foo on the page loading in that frame.

I attempted to comment out/delete the code for the two boxes and for the file save (etc) icons. Doing so caused JS errors. Evidently the page loader accesses elements within these things and the page chokes if they aren't present.

As a hack I did a <span style="display:none"> ...element </span> to hide the elements.

Wouldn't it make sense for there to be a master setting that disables any file manager functionality. Is it in the software already? I can't find it.
