Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS Viewer
Hi Tyler, Would the QGIS Browser application fit your needs? It is usually included as part of a QGIS build/package and is part of the QGIS source code tree. https://www.qgis.org/en/site/about/features.html#qgis-browser Regards, Larry Shaffer Dakota Cartography Black Hills, South Dakota On Fri, Jul 1, 2016 at 1:11 AM, Blumentrath, Stefan < stefan.blumentr...@nina.no> wrote: > Hi, > > > > If you start QGIS with the --configpath option, you avoid hacking the > registry, as all such settings are written into the folder the > “--configpath” option points to (more precisely, into the QGIS.ini file) > > That folder can be in the users Home directory and e.g. copied from a > network drive... > > > > See: > > > http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/96094/how-to-start-qgis-with-configpath-option-on-windows > > > > Cheers > > Stefan > > > > *From:* Qgis-user [mailto:qgis-user-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] *On Behalf > Of *Tyler Veinot > *Sent:* 1. juli 2016 06:00 > *To:* Heikki Vesanto ; Eric Goddard < > egoddard1...@gmail.com> > *Cc:* qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org; t...@wildintellect.com > > *Subject:* Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS Viewer > > > > Well there seems to be plenty of options; I like the idea of disabling > some of the interface options.

Re: [Qgis-user] QGIS Viewer
Hi, If you start QGIS with the --configpath option, you avoid hacking the registry, as all such settings are written into the folder the “--configpath” option points to (more precisely, into the QGIS.ini file) That folder can be in the users Home directory and e.g. copied from a network drive...

If you remove customise from the menu they will have to edit their registry to get it back. So will stop all but the most determined user.
