I did not have the time to look through all the UI guidelines, but I would not be surprised to see "Don't add menu entries that do not work". I'd like to see your examples of windows programs that have this behaviour. In explorer, you have an icon that warns you that you won't be able to open the file. It reminds me of these shareware programs with menu entries that seems to be working, but the only effect is to display "Ha! this would have worked if you had the full version!".

I agree to too that needing to re-configure is bad, I I propose to remove this need for windows (and later mac) by doing a proper query of the operating system. This does not seem so strange to me. What you propose is to add menu entries for things that do not work, it is different. JMarc
