			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you first start using your Mac, you may have quite a few items in your menu bar. I don&#8217;t feel the need for the Bluetooth or Input menu items and I prefer an uncluttered look, so I&#8217;ll remove them. But how do you do that?</p>
<div id="attachment_760" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 392px"><a href="http://easeintotheswitch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Mac-OS-X-menu-bar-items-extras.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-760" title="Mac OS X menu bar items extras" src="http://easeintotheswitch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Mac-OS-X-menu-bar-items-extras.png" alt="You can easily remove any of these icons you don't need." width="382" height="48" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">You can easily remove any of these icons you don&#39;t need.</p></div>
<p>There&#8217;s nothing in each one&#8217;s menu to allow you to remove them and there aren&#8217;t easy to find settings for them in System Preferences (though, they are usually scattered around there). If you want to remove one, just hold down the <strong>⌘</strong> (Command) key and drag it out of the menu bar. Lift your finger to stop dragging once you&#8217;re clear of the menu bar and <em>poof</em> it&#8217;s gone. This is similar to how you can drag icons out of your Dock  – only with that you don&#8217;t need to hold down the option key.</p>
