menu customization

Generally not a good idea, if you don't want to mess something up in the User Interface. You could hide potions of the interface instead.

You could also delete portions of th UI by altering the scripts found in the alias program folder (lots of studios do this), but that would require a very good understanding of the maya api and scripts that make up the UI. You could very well delete something which will keep maya from running properly.

Every script you copy into your user "scripts" folder will override Maya's own version (if you keep the filename equal). This basically means that you should just copy the script from Maya into your own scripts folder, hack away, and when Bad Things start to happen, just trash your own script to get back to sanity.
