How to remove bluetooth menu

I recently migrated from a Powerbook, with Bluetooth, to a Tower without. Now there is a non-functional Bluetooth menu in the Menu Bar and the Bluetooth tab of the Keyboard CP is hidden because the machine does not have Bluetooth. Is there any way to turn off the Bluetooth menu short of trashing Preference files? Would it be possible to simply edit the Preference file in Textedit. If so, which one? I am also willing to use the Terminal.

Hi, R C-R —
Interesting approach; sounds like it'd be cool — and work.
In re: "slightly annoying" — mho, fwiw:
AFAIK, circa 10.2.x, Apple "reserved MenuExtras" and decided to introduce a "block" preventing 3rd-party Menu Extras from loading — but folks kept developing them anyway using "hacks." (e.g., unsanity's "haxies" using its APE.)
I haven't seen Apple's rationale fully documented, but this hypothesis seems reasonable to me:
(a) Menu extras are different than, e.g., OS 9.x's menus that offer handy user options. For example, they include what I consider ~critical "status" and functional menus such as AirPort, Bluetooth, TextInput.menu, etc. whose presence (and some of whose "control" options) can be important user interface that shouldn't be interrupted.
(b) As described in the "Configuring User Sessions" subsection of The Boot Process, these capabilities are essentially double-protected: "If the Finder, Dock, or SystemUIServer processes die for some reason, loginwindow automatically restarts them. In the same manner, if the loginwindow process dies, the launchd process automatically restarts it." Thus, a bit o' 3rd-party misbehavior can not only cause their menu to "crash," but bring 'em all — including Spotlight, and possibly Finder — crashing down, too.
(c) Given (a) and (b), it would seem a bit foolhardy to "allow" 3rd-party developers to, perchance, sneak in some faulty code that may result in the process described in (b) to do an ~infinite loop of relaunching processes in an effort to keep key capabilities available.
I've certainly read of — and tried to help folks with — a lot of cases of such problems that were caused, imo, by this dynamic (no matter how vigorously unsanity, et.al. may deny it)! 'tis also a lot of trouble to keep up with when OS X upgrades (or troubleshooting whatever) force a user to disable the thang or find an updated version of the hack...
All for something that can ~easily be implemented via the Dock, as intended by Apple. Moving the cursor to the Dock's location to access a capability isn't really too much harder than to the menu bar, after all. Longing to "make X like OS 9.x, etc." doesn't seem worth the trouble — even to people as creative and rambunctious as we rebellious Mac folk.

This is not, of course, a comment on your Script Menu.menu idea.

HOW TO REMOVE BLUETOOTH DRIVER

I using apple imac 10.6.7 os,can i know how to lock or remove the imac bluetooth driver? Due to the security reason.
thanks.

Why not just turn it off in your system preferences?
And if you really don't want accessing the bluetooth preferences after turning it off remove the preference panel from /System/Library/PreferencePanes.
But if you insist, and really want to remove the drivers, then like any other driver they are in /System/Library/Extensions. Based solely on the name I assume they are IOBluetoothFamily.kext and IOBluetoothHIDDriver.kext. It's not clear whether removing those will break your system or not. So you better keep the originals as backups and be prepared to boot off some other boot disk to restore them (observe ownership and permissions).

How to remove empty space in CSS table and move spry menu bar?

Hello! I created www.stonecreekha.com about a year ago basically by watching youtube tutorials and haven't done much with it since so I've forgotten everything! In IE7, everything appears as it should; but in Firefox and IE8, the spry menu bar is positioned slightly higher than it should be (it slightly cuts off the foot of the golfer) and there is an empty space between the navigation bar and the photo. The source code can be viewed from the website. Here are some pics:
IE7 - how it is supposed to look:
IE8:
Firefox:
Dreamweaver:
So basically, I need to know how to remove that empty space between the navigation bar and the picture, and how to move the spry menu bar down a few pixels, in a way that it looks correct in IE8 and Firefox, and preferably IE7 as well.
P.S. I'm a noob so if you could be as specific as possible on what to do in Dreamweaver I'd really appreciate it. Thanks

I belive it's because of the -minus margin being used on the navbar, that you will need to use a negative margin to bring up both the left and right bodyArea divs.
Try : margin-top: -18px; on both divs. You may need to play around with that to get it more precise.
Again, not sure what effect that has on IE as I can't test it.
If it affects IE, then you may need to feed IE a conditional comment for the placement of those divs.

How to remove an ActiveX ctl from menu?

Currently in my "Select ActiveX Object" window (from right clicking on an
ActiveX container ->insert ActiveX object) I have several garbage controls
that i made to test some code and block diagrams
As such, several copies of the same ActiveX control are in the menu
Does anyone know how to remove these controls from the menu?
(and how did I added them in the first place?)
Also if anyone can point me in the direction of some good resources regarding
ActiveX objects and Labview, it would be greatly appreciated

You need to unregister the ActiveX:
The command to manually register or unregister an ActiveX component is:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\REGSVR32 filename
or
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\REGSVR32 /u filename
Then delete filename.ocx or .dll

Hi
I think you mean the Toshiba Vista FlashCards.
The FlashCards controls the FN buttons and if you want to use the FN buttons I would not recommend removing it from the operating system.
If dont want to use this tool then you could disable it in:
Programs Toshiba - Utilities Toshiba FlashCard settings
Hope this helps.
A feedback would be appreciated

How to remove icons from the menu bar

Hi,
I've read all the other ideas on how to remove or re-arange them ( CMD - drag off etc ), well none of this works for me !!
I have a Macbook Pro running 10.6.7. So does anyone have any ideas please
Steve

Usually the apps belonging to these icons have an option that allows you to hide the Menu Bar icon by allowing them to run as an app in the dock. However, certain applications like Caffeine must show their icons as otherwise you wouldn't be able to access them.
For example, Dropbox doesn't allow you to remove its menu bar icon:
