Made a Mach Menu editing Plug in (see screen shot below).
It allows the Grey out, or removal of top menus and sub menus. (You no big deal for you experienced guys, but a MFC learning experience for me).
I put is where it would Gray out configure plugins box to turn them on or off. I also put in a special UDRO that takes a specific Number that will return the Mach
standard Menu.

In the screen shot, under "File" I greyed out some choices, and deleted some of the CAM choices, also on the Main Menu, I greyed out Wizards.

this one is targeted to OEMs who want to control what the user can get to on the machines they sale, in where The users of the Windows computer would be a standard user access level so that even if they knew to go into plugins and delete mine, windows would deny them permission to do so. they would need Admin access to remove the Plugin, or the "Pass word" (number) for the specific DRO.

That's pretty neat Scott.
Nice work.
May inquire about it more in the near future. I am sending 1 machine to run in a neighboring facility and would like to keep them away from the config.
Thanks,
RC
