Bingo!!!!! Problem Solved
It didn't take long to find the button in the menu_1024_768.ini file. I then deleted it and renumbered the file. No go, it came up with a heap of errors when loading the game. I assume all these were links to the button.
Then i thought why not just move the button off screen, so I changed the screen coordinates for the button to a huge number and saved the file. When I ran the game the button was nowhere to be seen. exactly what i was after.
I then edited the gameplaysettings.cfg file so I would still be able to play at 100% realism.
So now i can play with "Disable WE Assistance" uncheched and not be able to get a solution from the Weapons Officer. I can also quickly find the ship in the manual as 'Sailor Steve' has described in his post.
Thanks again Steve
Cheers
Graeme
