--Edit: Sorry, remove_option_whitelist( 'reading' ) seems to be the correct code.
remove_option_whitelist( 'reading' )
--
Try with unregister_setting( $option_group, $option_name, $sanitize_callback );
<?php unregister_setting( 'reading', $option_name, $sanitize_callback ); ?>

RNWest says:Hi
Sorry this did not work..
The wordpress feature I am trying to remove is in wp-admin/options-reading.php
If this helps - 11/18/11 9:38pm
Gabriel Reguly says:Hi RNWest,
That file is hard-coded and you will need to edit it to remove the code, but when updating WordPress your changes will be lost.
However, with the following code in your functions.php you can prevent those fields from being changed:
if ( is_admin() ) {
function gr_filter_options( $whitelist_options ) {
$remove = array( 'reading' => array( 'show_on_front', 'page_on_front', 'page_for_posts' ) );
foreach( $remove as $page => $keys ) {
foreach ( $keys as $key ) {
if ( isset($whitelist_options[ $page ]) && is_array($whitelist_options[ $page ]) ) {
$pos = array_search( $key, $whitelist_options[ $page ] );
if ( $pos !== false )
unset( $whitelist_options[ $page ][ $pos ] );
}
}
}
return $whitelist_options;
}
add_filter( 'whitelist_options', 'gr_filter_options', 10, 1 );
}
Luis solution removes the link from the menu, but an user can still access the page wp-admin/options-reading.php.
Hope this helps you.
And I won't mind if you could afford adding more money to the prize ;-)

Gabriel Reguly says:Hi RNWest,
Sorry, but how my answer does not work for you?
What is your WordPress version?
The functions.php code prevents the updating of the fields, so despite the fact that they are shown at options-reading.php, those fields are harmless now (in the lack of a better wording ;-)
And albeit editing core files is not the best approach, surely using my edited version those fields do not appear anymore. (Perhaps I could have only commented out the code, instead of removing the fields)
I have tested with WordPress 3.3 latest version, with multisite enabled.
Regards,
Gabriel
P.S. Thanks for increasing the prize.
Also thanks for sharing the fact that WP Questions charges a second 90 cents tax.

Could you confirm that you abandoned the question?
Don't you want to try my solution?

RNWest says:Hi
Sorry got busy on other things,,
Yes, Gabriel your answers works but it was my fault for not being clear on my request.. I need to "Hide" this feature so the client will not see it..
Thanks - 11/21/11 7:26pm
Gabriel Reguly says:Hi RNWest,
Sorry, but does not my edited version of wp-admin/options-reading.php hides the Front page displays choice?
Please see attached image for clarification.
(And forgive me the Brazilian Portuguese :P )

Gabriel
