I couldn't figure out what this meant, and our machine is
running stand-alone.  So, I modified Preferences in /NextApps 
using "fsectbyname" utility and IB.
You can extract appropriate .nib file with fsectbyname,
edit it by IB to break connection from "SET" button, and
put back the modified .nib file back into Preferences executable.

"fsectbyname" sources and executable are available from one of
anonymous FTP sites (which I dont remember at the moment).
