[squeak-dev] How to hide tools collection from objects catalog in novice mode?

Hi,
Is there a way to avoid novice users from using the tools collection from objects catalog?
It is possible to hide the tools collection without loosing their features?
Thanks.

  Not sure what version of Squeak and how much customization is done,
but please try the following:

  - Instanciate a Text from Supplies.

  - Type (or copy and paste) the following three lines:

    (Flaps classPool at: #FlapsQuads) at: 'Tools' put: OrderedCollection new.
    ArchiveViewer class removeSelector: #descriptionForPartsBin.
    EventRecorderMorph class removeSelector: #descriptionForPartsBin.

  - Select all by pressing Cmd-a and then "do-it" by Cmd-d.
  - Open the object catalog and then see if "Tools" is gone.

Thank you.
