Useful Tip: If some functions aren’t used at all in your website, more than hiding only a menu item, it’s better to directly disable this function. As example if you’re sure that the function Tag will not be used, you could disalbe it going on System -> Configuration -> Advanced and disabling the Mage_Tag module.
