# Hide the developer menu in Player

## Purpose

*Learn how to hide the Developer Menu in the Tulip Player*

The Developer Menu on the Tulip Player can be hidden in the following two ways:

## **Using a settings.json File**

          Note

          

This method applies for all users of the PC.

- Create a “settings.json” file in your `C:\ProgramData\tulip\settings` folder. If this folder path does not already exist, you will need to create it.
- Ensure that all other users of the PC have “READ” privileges on this file.
- Open the file in Notepad or any text editor and add the following content to it:

```
{  
  "disableDeveloperMenu": true  
}
```

          Note

          

If this file already exists and has other contents, simply add the `“disableDeveloperMenu”: true` entry, separated by a comma from other file entries.

At this stage, you can launch the Tulip Player and confirm the “Developer” menu should no longer be available in the top menu bar.

## **Using Environment Variables**

### For the current user:

- Open a PowerShell terminal and execute the following command to set an environment variable named

`"TULIP_PLAYER_DISABLE_DEVELOPER_MENU"` equal to `"true`"

```
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("TULIP_PLAYER_DISABLE_DEVELOPER_MENU", "true", [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::User)
```

### For all users on the PC:

- Open a PowerShell terminal as **Administrator** and execute the following command to set an environment variable named: `“TULIP_PLAYER_DISABLE_DEVELOPER_MENU”`  equal to  `“true”`

```
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("TULIP_PLAYER_DISABLE_DEVELOPER_MENU", "true", [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine)
```
