How to disable the NoMachine menu inside the session

At times administrators may want to disable access to the NoMachine menu for various users.  The NoMachine menu can be opened insis the session by using the "Ctrl+Alt+0" key combination or by clicking on the page peel in the upper right corner of the window.

There are two settings that you will need to change:

1) Turn off menu access via hotkey combination

On the end-user's computer, edit the player.cfg file in the /home/username/.nx/config directory and change the following key:

<option key="Player toolbar hotkey" value="Ctrl+Alt+0" />

or for Mac users:

 <option key="Player toolbar hotkey" value="Meta+Alt+0" />

to have:

<option key="Player toolbar hotkey" value="" />

2) Turn off menu access via "page peel"

On the end-user's computer edit the /home/username/.nx/config/player.cfg file and change the following key:

<option key="Enable quick toolbar access" value="true" />

to have:

<option key="Enable quick toolbar access" value="false" />

This effectively turns off all access to the NoMachine menu within a users session.
