Mac 101: Remove unwanted menu extras

Hi ,
No one knows how to remove menu extra from the menu extra bar using cocoa API.
Is there no one API to remove the our created menu extra. If any one knows please reply how to remove our menu extras.

Thanks so much for posting this tip!! Really helpful! Did a search in google on "remove modem icon from menu bar" and this discussion came up first.

Had been "suffering" looking at the modem icon on my macbook for months. It got installed when I transferred everything from my old ibook during initial the set up.

I spent a lot time hunting around Systems Preferences trying to get rid of it. The solution of command-drag-drop-and-poof seems too easy.... Ha! Don't know if I would have ever guessed that one.

Thanks again!

How to remove menu extra?
By the other menu extra.
I have created one menu extra it working properly but i want to remove my menu extra by the another menu extra how can i do this ?
please help.

blair, the tip is actually correct. The utility icons mentioned in the post refer to OS X utilities. I've found it annoying that I cant move around my third party menubar apps around using this method, but that's what makes OS X so, so sweet.

Sorry, but this tip is incorrect. The Apple+Drag sweetness only works with actual Apple menu extras (i.e. Airport, Security, Battery, Input Method). It may work with some third party menu extras, but if so, very very few.

how do I remove or hide the entire menu bar? I'm working with FCP, Illustrator and Photoshop quite a bit, and that menubar is a pain. (Windows actually doesn't have it, I just found out).

I'm also using 10.4.9 and neither Command nor Command +Shift work...

I don't know about anyone else's Mac, but for me, it's COMMAND-SHIFT, not just the Command key. I'm on 10.4.9 if that makes a difference.

i know this appear to be quite simple and obvious posts but im so thankfull for such posts. even having worked for years with macs (sine os 9 era) i don't know all those tweaks out there, and i enjoy reading those tipps for improving my workflow.
again thanx and keep up the good work

Thank You. That damn internet connect Icon has been stuck there eventhough the App was lond ago deleted.

Thank You!
