A google for disable "quick edit" results in quite a few entries. If you are using Windows NT/2000/XP, they say that you need to edit the registry and set HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console\"QuickEdit" to "0" to disable or "1" to enable. Might I recommend using Win32::TieRegistry for the task.

Something like this should work. (I haven't tested it since I have Windows 98 on this machine.) 

#!perl -w
use strict;
use Win32::TieRegistry;
my $key = new Win32::TieRegistry "CUser/Console/",
      { Delimiter => "/" };
$key->{"//QuickEdit"} = [ "0x0000", "REG_DWORD" ];
