In talking with Kels, he brought up the idea of disabling entire categories. We have seen that requested before. What I am unsure of is, why?

Are you not wanting them installed on a particular computer, but is OK for another? Then you should be using SelectMultiDefault option and not set those items as defaults for that particular computer.

Are you giving the CD/DVD to someone and you don't want them to be able to chose your "special" programs?


Then, how do you want to enable/disable them?

My first thought was to add lines to config.js at the top like:

cat['Drivers']=true; // enabled
cat['IllegalStuff']=false; // disabled
......
then the items........


Then how do you want to change them? Manually in config.js or in the Options screen?


I am just looking for input so I go about it the right way the first time. Tell me all your thoughts.

No just the category check box (The one that selects all or none for that category)
