Description

Resolution:
Each Windows Engine menu, located in the system tray, has a Start and Stop command that can be used to start and stop the Engine. Depending on your deployment, you may wish to remove these items to prevent users from stopping Engines. You can do this with the following workaround:

    * Download a base64 utility from http://www.fourmilab.ch/webtools/base64/base64.zip.
    * Go to /webapps/livecluster/engineUpdate/win32 and find all x4088.* files.
    * Use base64 to decode the files and remove the following lines:

    &ltMENU>
        &ltMENUITEM TEXT="Start" COMMAND="startup" PROC_NAME="Engine" />
        &ltMENUITEM TEXT="Stop" COMMAND="shutdown" PROC_NAME="Engine" />
    </MENU>

    * Use base64 to encode updated files and replace original x4088.* files.

All Engines will update to load the new x4088 file. The Engine icon will still be in the system tray, but the Start and Stop commands won't be in the menu.
