Can I disable Nikon's image protect feature?

I've changed my auto focus settings to use the ae-L/af-L button on the back of the body for focus lock instead of the shutter button. I'm loving it, except for one issue.

I'm checking photos as I go and switching back to shooting pretty quickly. I keep wondering why my auto focus won't work, while inadvertently locking my images and missing important shots.

Is there a way to turn the image lock feature off so if I use the ae-L/af-L button in display mode it will just go back to shooting mode and focus the lens?
