Photoshop workflow setup

Hi,

I need some help with Photoshop Scripting.

What I need to do is to avoid users to create new document or open an existing one (except the one I've loaded).
What I have done so far is to insert in the "Script Event Manager" some script for the "open document" and "new document" event.
The script simply close the activeDocument in that way:

Code: Select allapp.activeDocument.close();

(I have also put an alert that tells the user that can not open or create new document..)

What I want to do is something more complex: I want to stop photoshop to show the default open window (or the create new file window) and, instead, shows a message or something that tells the user that this two functions will not be available.

I also want to hide the "Script Event Manager" to avoid the user to edit an action that I use in the "save document" event, to save a JPG version of the document (if and only if the document is a PSD).

Can anyone help me, please?

Based on your description, I'm not sure why "workflow" is even in the title.

because is a flow that I need to work with to use photoshop and other tools I've made all together.
