How can I alter the default behavior of iTunes 10.7 to suppress some UI elements like the store?
In the current version of iTunes (12.8), this is very easy:


Go to iTunes > Preferences
Go to Restrictions
In the "Disable" list, check "iTunes Store"


I would assume the same feature is present in iTunes 10.7, but given that it's six years old and I can't find a screenshot of its preferences window, I can't confirm that for sure.
