It is actually not Explorer view, it is the option to Open in Windows

to hide explorer view, if a user still can simply click Actions open in
Windows Explorer?

You explain how I can enforce security on that and I will gladly test it out.

We have several form libraries we have created that we need explorer view

the actions button in te library toolbar and choose open in explorer view as
one of the actions?

How can I remove all options to open a library in explorer view?

It seems like you should be looking to use out of the box security for
something like this, not discriminating against the poor explorer
view :)

Have you run into a roadblock using security?

I don't know your specific security requirements, but assuming that
you have group of users called "Secured Doc Lib Users" do something
like:

1. Break inheritence to the doc lib (settings -> permissions for this
document library, actions -> edit permissions)
2. Remove the permissions for everyone.
3. Add the "Secured Doc Lib Users" group.
4. Give that group an appropriate permission level (such as "Viewer").

At this point, only the site collection admin and members of that
group should have access
