# Hide the developer menu in Player

## Purpose

*Learn how to hide the Developer Menu in the {{glossary.Tulip Player}}*

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



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


:::(Info) (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  
}
```

:::(Info) (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)
```
