Is there any way to disable the desktop lockup *feature* in OS/2?
Thanks.

I want to keep anyone from easily locking up the desktop.

Easy.  Just right-click on any open area of the desktop, select the Settings option,
go to the Lockup page, and tell it not to use automatic lockup.

Since the answer seems extremely obvious I assume that the question does not
mean what it appears to. What exactly do you want to disable about the lockup
that turning it off in the desktop settings does not do?

Yup.... click on an empty part of the desktop with the right mouse button. 
Click on Settings with the left button. Click on the Lockup tab. Choose no 
automatic lockup....

I'm not sure if this answers the original question, which I read to be "how
do you disable the lockout button?" instead of disabling the automatic lockup. 

perhaps we've missed something... but what prevents a random person from
walking by your desktop and clicking on the "lockup" button?  or worse, 
coming to your desktop, clicking on the settings, making a new password,
then hitting the "lockup" button _and_ then clicking "lock on startup"???
