Can the "Reset" entry on settings menus be removed?

I was just wondering if it would be possible to remove this option from all places in the setting menus. I was thinking about this as I have customized a few Kindles as gifts and while I know not to ever select that option I am unsure if all of those I have given such Kindles to will remember to avoid using it.

I don't know the details on how these menus are being built, but I recently dug up the note on how to add the "Cover option" entry to the menus via:

To enable the "display book cover" option in the settings menu:

1) Create a file at /var/local/java/prefs/BookCover.preference containing the following:
Code:

#User preferences for Book Cover Preferences
#Sun May 29 18:17:30 GMT-06:00 2022
BookCoversEnabled=false
isBCSettingAccessed=true

2) And for `/var/local/KWISClient.db` insert this SQLite row:
Code:

INSERT INTO "main"."experiments" ("extra_identifier", "experiment", "treatment") VALUES ('CuratorBookCovers', 'EREADER_CURATOR_BOOK_COVERS_307723', 'T2');

I would imagine it would be possible to create a KUAL extension to add or remove this menu entry as the user would like. Assuming that the other menu entries are built in a similar manner I would expect it to be possible to address the "Reset" options as well once you know how they are encoded in the configuration.

Has anyone looked into this?
