I was able to suppress the options using the method you showed me. It took me a while to find out which file to edit, I copied the config-sample.php to config.php and edited that. I replaced an exdisting line with this one, and it seems to work: $fp_removed_optpage_urls=array('options_order.php','options_highlight.php','options.php?optpage=display','options.php?optpage=personal','options.php?optpage=folder'); thanks!
