Thanks- However, I found a module called hidecategories and it's working for me- sort of. It blocks it in both the categories sidebox and the main page- not if you have categories turned on to show in the header- I'm about to see if I can figure out how to modify it so it won't block the sidebox.

Now I think I've confused myself- but I'll get it!! Somehow, I've always managed to figure it with Zen Cart!!
