How to hide the Quick Launch bar?

[ChrissyLoetz]

Hi...my WSS sites have links on the quick launch bar, like "pictures," and "discussion boards," that my users don't need. All they need is documents. Is there a way to hide the quick launch bar?

When a list is created, there's a setting "Show on quick launch bar". You could later modify this settings by going to the list settings page (i.e. "Modify settings and columns.")

To hide the Quick Launch bar completely, the following article describes one way to do it:

If you wanted to take it a step further you could take a look at this replacement Quick Links web part which will only show links to which the user has permissions to view.
