IBM Notes 9 stops user from deleting folders by accident

Blue Keyboard
Oh how we have longed for IBM Notes 9 after seeing a simple feature like blocking the delete key from use in the navigator.  With a new Desktop Setting that you can push out via policies, you can stop the unwanted accidental delete.

DisableDelKeyForNavigator=1

If a user thinks they are in their main view area with documents, but really they are in the navigator on the left, hitting delete will not remove the folder with this setting enabled.  The users would need to right click on a folder or use the action menus instead.

This should solve a few helpdesk calls right?
