For the games, the first thought I had to telnet into the device and delete the game executables. You need to look in "/usr/local/Kobo". The files look like "libchess.so". There are instructions for enabling telnet in the developers sub forum.

It might also be possible to disable them via the Kobo Patcher. I don't know if anyone has looked for the changes needed or not.
Hi Davidfor, thanks muchly for the tips. I was a little surprised that no one has asked this about kobo since I saw many "how to block games" in the kindle forums.
