WordPress Remove WP Drop Down Links

I posted a small plugin over at WPMUDev for users, here it is again:

along with some code snippets on how to handle this:

http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/remove-wp-about-menu-from-toolbar#post-161711

There are a few options. First the manual edits:
Open the file:
/wp-includes/class-wp-admin-bar.php
And around line 456:

456

add_action( 'admin_bar_menu', 'wp_admin_bar_wp_menu', 10 );

Comment it out or just remove the whole line. Now the WP links part is all gone!
But….. But……… If you wanted to edit those links to customise yourself, you could just go open up the file:
/wp-includes/admin-bar.php
You’ll see it all near the top, here is a short snippet:

if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
// Add "About WordPress" link	 $wp_admin_bar->add_menu( array('parent' => 'wp-logo', 'id' => 'about',	 'title'  => __('About WordPress'),	 'href'   => admin_url('about.php'),	 ) );
}

You will note much of the same on there.
The logo is part of a sprite which can be found here:

/wp-includes/images/admin-bar-sprite.png

Both of these options mean updating the code every time you upgrade your WP install.
And now the final option, which is the easiest, but its yet another plugin………

Remove WordPress Admin Bar Links
