The only thing I don't think profiles can do is take away are view options, id="9000" for T!. You can imagine a parent/wife accidentally bringing it up then accidentally changing a view and now they're lost or hitting to hide 'watched' and now half the movies are gone....
I also took away DialogVideoInfo so just in case they wander there they don't screw things up. I couldn't figure out how to take away context menu, when I did it screwed things up...

thanx for the feedback mcborzu.
i'd like to hear some more thoughts...to see why people think using profiles is not sufficient
and hopefully get a complete list of things that should be hidden from the 'technically challenged' users.

ok here is my view on the whole "kiosk mode " thing i think it should just disable the option/ability to pull up the view options ( which contain view,sort,library mode,etc) and add a button under settings to enable disable view options
any ways i think mcborzu got it right if that doesnt solve the issues then maybe we shouldnt let slow people play with expensive toys-jk

maybe not in weather tho its nice to be able to check weather in adjoining towns on the fly
and pictures because its also necessary to re-size pics for a better view
also remove add sources

ya you're right
any way another thought would be to disable the lock/unlock button on visualizations

ya but it might still be nice i was thinking of what a kiosk mode might do
but as far as the lock/unlock visualization it is the Parent Dir/back button command while in visualization and while were at it maybe the context menu/title button too since it only has info someone with admin capability can use instead back should jump out of visualization (like Full-screen/display button) so it will be intuitive for lost lookers then they can still rotate visualization with left/right and get back to lists but it wont screw with settings
another idea i had was to implement kiosk mode as a button under the context menu then admins can use it on the fly w/out going in and out of settings menus (which can be laborious during fine tuning)
