[TYPO3-english] How to hide fields in BE forms from extensions for all users ?

[Christoph Stadler]

the file that is edited when i click the 'Write to configureation' 
button is typo3conf/extTables.php

so even after editing out the fields i don't want to see and writing the 
new setup into extTables and cleaning caches i still see those fields in 
the back end
