Moss How to remove My settings in Welcome Menu

Sometime you may want to hide the MySettings menu item from the Welcome control of SharePoint
You can follow the steps below:

1. Take a copy of Welcome.ascx file (under 12 hive\Template\ControlTemplates folder)
2. Rename it as CustWelcome.ascx
3. Find the tag with Personalization For Eg:

Text=”<%$Resources:wss,personalactions_personalinformation%>”
Description=”<%$Resources:wss,personalactions_personalinformationdescription%>”
MenuGroupId=”100″
Sequence=”100″
ImageUrl=”/_layouts/images/menuprofile.gif”
UseShortId=”true”
Visible=”true”
/>
Change the Visible to false (if visible is missing add it and set it as false)

Text=”<%$Resources:wss,personalactions_personalinformation%>”
Description=”<%$Resources:wss,personalactions_personalinformationdescription%>”
MenuGroupId=”100″
Sequence=”100″
ImageUrl=”/_layouts/images/menuprofile.gif”
UseShortId=”true”
Visible=”false”
/>

Now go to the master page and change the reference from welcome.ascx file to CustWelcome.ascx
