Remove the User Switch Menu for you but leave it for others
Authored by: tlunde on Nov 14, '03 11:06:16AM

If you're interested in this hint so that you can reclaim menu bar space for yourself, but don't want other users of the system to have to remember the terminal incantations:

1. Turn FUS on in the System Preferences -> Accounts
2. Edit ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist

Remove the line that is:
<string>/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/User.menu</string>

Log out, and then in again. _Your_ menubar will be cleaner, but when any other user logs in, their menubar will look normal.

Just command-dragging a menu item out of the menu bar will remove it form the preferences, and it won't show up next time you log in – no need to manually edit the preference file.
