Thanks Ringo. Carrara is a bit awkward with how somethings are menu only. I use the tabbed pullout like most. However, I just made custom kb shortcuts for both, remove master shaders and options. I need to look thru the menu for items that I will need that are menu only...sure it will come up again. However, would still be nice for a dialog prompt to come up that ask about deleting shaders or objects if you delete an instance that it was tied to w/ an option to always do this or ask.Simple and useful.

No need to think outside the box....
    Just make it invisible.
