How to completely disable Javascript in a Webbrowser control

Hi,
Does anyone know how to do this?!

At the moment i have hacked together something that parses the HTML
before loading it, removing all <script .. /> blocks. Of course, i
just realised that javascript can be found in element attributes too,
so rather than spend the next week hunting down every possible place
javascript could be hiding (i expect there a thousands!), i am hoping
there is a way to disable it.

I need a programmatic method, so 'disable active scripting' from IE's
tools menu is not an option for me :0(.

Thanks in advance of your wise words of wisdom,
James.

I do not know of any way, except manually disabling it , There most be
a way manipulating the registry, but this has global implications. If
you find a way please post it back as somebody else asked me the same
question.

Sorry not be of more help.
