Prevent the 'compose' and 'send' button to disappear from menu
Hello,
On my grandmother's, who is 82, PC, I recently installed Thunderbird instead of Windows Live Mail. Although the experience has been mostly positive, there is a small problem:
Disappearing buttons; this is the main problem. Every time she manages to make the compose and send buttons disappear. She does this by hovering on the button and then by accident right clicks in stead of left clicking. This brings her to the pop-up menu in which you can make the bar with buttons disappear. So the question is, is it possible to disable this menu?
Thank you in advance,
Nigel
Ps: I know how to reset it, and tried to explain it to her many times, to no avail. So a permanent solution would be preferred.

This kind of situation reminds me of enterprise lock-down features. You could ask in the TB enterprise mailing list about this, there are also other TB enterprise resources available.
Although locking the preferences file and making it read-only will only make Thunderbird ignore changes made during a session once it's been closed and reopened, it may provide hints to effectively preventing toolbars changes.
You could tell her "if it disappears, quit, then restart". Although not ideal, this would work.
This document dealing with toolbar customization may provide more detail to find the right settings to lock-down to achieve what you describe.
This forum post hints at another (probably more radical) solution, completely removing the context menu.
In any case please come back and share back what you ended up doing, I am also interested in fine-grain lock-down. :)
