I've created the skeleton framework for a Visual Studio 2005 add-in
(C#) and I was wondering if there is a way to remove any of the
standard built menus or menu items? I see lot's of tutorials on how
to add your own menus or custom menu items, but nothing talks about
removing any of the standard items.

For example how can I get rid of the "Community" menu or the
"Tools > Framework Browser" menu item when the "OnConnection()"
method is called in the Add-in?

Thanks.

Figured it out.

Microsoft.VisualStudio.CommandBars.CommandBar menuBarCommandBar =
((Microsoft.VisualStudio.CommandBars.CommandBars)_applicationObject.CommandBars)["MenuBar"];

//Find the Tools command bar on the MenuBar command bar:
CommandBarControl toolsControl = menuBarCommandBar.Controls["Tools"];
CommandBarPopup toolsPopup = (CommandBarPopup)toolsControl;

// Hide the entire tools menu
toolsPopup.Visible = false;

Be sure that you know why you are doing that, hopefully an add-in for your
own use or your own organization and not for the general public, because
that would be an unacceptable behavior for an add-in.

Just in case...
