## Skildring

This plugin does exactly what the title says, when activated it will remove the 
Tools menu from your WordPress Admin navigation menu. If you need import, export
or if any of your plugins add sub-items into it, simply deactivate the plugin, do
your thing, then re-enable the Remove Tools Menu plugin to remove Tools menu item
again and keep it out of your way. NOTE: there are certain plugins that add things
to the Tools menu… those obviously won’t show up either but the plugin still does
what it was built to do. Have fun.

## Installasjon

 1. Upload the `remove-tools-menu` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the Remove Tools Menu plugin through the «Plugins» menu in WordPress

## Vanlege spm.

### Why did you create this as a plugin?

Why not? In all the WP sites I’ve ever had I think I’ve only used the Import/Export
thing like four times ever. For everyday normal use I got tired of it getting in
my way. I created this plugin (in may 2011) to share as others may want to hide 
it until needed.
