Can we disable the default menu groups/items in Illustrator?

[poortip87]

Hi all..!!

I was wondering whether we can disable/enable any menu item/group in Illustrator? I am working on Illustrator CS4, 5 on windows. To be more specific, can we disable the kSaveMenuGroup, so that the save options appear disabled..?? I tried using the methods described in AIMenuSuite structure reference. But, this only disabled the pre-defined groups added by the plugins.. Any help would be appreciated..

Thanks...!!

You could probably set the document state to not modified. But you'd have to be pretty diligent about it, since every time a change is made you'll need to reset the state. And the user would still be able to Save As...

btemp has said exactly what I would say. You can prevent Save in a kind of kludgey way, but I don't know of any way to prevent Save As, or Save A Copy As, etc.
