Hide exit and colse from file menu?

In the comments from Z_Beeblebrox, in question http://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/Q.20195631.html,
he refers to a link where you can inactivate the "X" (close) button in an application. (http://www.allapi.net/tips/tip060.SHTML).
I tried this for other running applications, and it works.
But now the user can still use the "Close" and "exit" from the "File" menu.
How can I suppres or inactivate this options????

That code is from www.allapi.net. It disables close button and hide exit menu also.
add an unload me statement in form click event or you could not close it!
