Mitch, Thanks for the prompt response. This question came to the K-Meleon project from a user who wanted to allow access to the location bar but needed to block access to the hard drive. Since you can allow/disallow all menus, menu items, tool and menu bars, toolbar buttons and short-cut keys in K-Meleon, you can easily create a "kiosk mode". However, it sounds like disabling the location bar wasn't an option for that user.
Just out of curiousity, how does Mozilla handle links to the hard drive from a web page? If someone created a link to C:\ on a web page or called it with Javascript, how does the browser handle that?
