Possible to disable Menu Settings feature in Page content type?

Is there a way to disable the Menu Settings feature in the /node/add/page and edit pages? I want to keep a client from creating menu links when creating a new page. He just doesn't get the drupal's menu creation system and ends up putting menu items in "create content" menu and all sort of other places that end up messing up the site and sometimes expose private menus to anonymous users.

if this client is logged in an the 1st created user, they are explosed to everything.
If not, does this clients role have the ability to administer menus? in administer -> permissions? if so, remove that permission and test.
Taking out the person's menu admin permission solved the issue.
Taking out the person's menu admin permission solved the issue. Thank you. I realize that menu admin should be granted carefully otherwise menu links will pop up in all kinds of strange places -- and make the developer look bad. Drupal's menu creation process -- choosing parent menu from the dropdown -- is not intuitive and I've had people who just didn't get it or quickly forgot how to do it no matter how many times I explained it to them.
or ... "Menu Settings per Content Type" module
http://drupal.org/project/ctm
This module helps narrow down or even eliminate the menu choices for newbie users.
You probably don't want them to create top level navigation items that will likely break the design; but on a third-level page, you may want the ability to add to a section's menu.
