Unfortunately, I gave you the wrong procedure. The procedure I described can
be used to delete commands in menus, not the menus themselves. Since you want
to delete the entire Adobe menus, do this instead:
Open the Customize dialog box (right-click in the toolbar area and select
Customize or select Tools > Customize). While the dialog box is open,
right-click one at a time the menus you want to delete and select Delete from
the pop-up menu. Close the Customize dialog box when finished.
