Your product can register the "standard" type actions when registering
the content type (via the 'factory_type_information' argument).  You
could simply delete the description of the 'folder_contents' action from
your type information, and most users would never know that it was
possible.  Clever site admins would still be able to force one in for
their site by adding the action manually via the types tool;  you won't
be able to prevent that, although you could probably hijack the name by
defining a method on your class.
