Beginning with version 4.0 all menu items can be disabled using parameters. See the list below: 
Here are the undocumented parameters that can be added to the QWS3270X.jgp file or any session file:

disableblinking=yes // turns off blinking for fields or characters with the 3270 extended attribute byte set to blinking. The default setting is no, which causes these fields or characters to blink. 
disablemenu=yes // hides the entire QWS3270 PLUS menu bar. The default setting is no. 
disablemultiple= 1 // prevents the user from starting multiple QWS3270 PLUS sessions simultaneously. This restricts the user to a single 3270 session. The default setting is no. 
disablesysmenu=yes // hides the standard Windows system menu items from the title bar. This includes the minimize, maximize and close options in the upper left corner and the drop down menu in the upper left corner. The default setting is no. 
disabletitle=yes // hides the standard Windows title bar. The default setting is no. 
disablesetup=yes // disables the "Options" menu item. The default setting is no.
