Situation

Users are closing the Application Launcher Window (NAL Window) - how to prevent this?

Resolution

Launch NALWIN.EXE with the parameter "/s", this will remove the close option , and replace "File">"Exit Application Launcher" with "File">"Shutdown"

Additional Information

The "/s" option is shown in the ZCM 11 Documentation and the ZDM7 Documentation

Note that this option will not prevent a user that has access to Task Manager, for example, from closing the NALWIN.EXE process.
