WARNING:
Unless reversed, the changes are permanent and apply to all other databases
To prevent that, make sure you re-enable the CommandBars before closing the database.

It appears that my original comment wasn’t as clear as I intended. I've since reworded it.
The code just disables the design menu item (commandbar control) not the command bar (shortcut menu) as a whole.

The article gives all the code for anyone who wants to try it. If you don't like the idea, then leave it alone.
