Remove File Menu Toolbar from Visual Studio (Menu Bar)

To increase working space and remove unused items from the Toolbar area, I would like to remove the File/Edit/View/etc toolbar (aka the Menu Bar) from the top of Visual Studio (2008 and 2010) (I don't use any of those, I try to use keystrokes for everything). Is there a way to do this?

This is similar to TinyMenu for Fir开发者_运维百科efox, but I would setting for just removing the toolbar entirely: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1455/

EDIT:

If you right click the toolbar and go to customize the Menu Bar can not be de-selected:

I think this extension should help with that.

Hide Main Menu Extension

Haven't tested it myself though.

If you really want space, click on View and then click on Full Screen.

Right-click the menu bar and select Customize... The Customize dialog should pop up. Then you can take each top level menu item and drag it from the menu bar to the dialog. Nothing more efficient comes to my mind at the moment.

In Visual Studio 2008: the best solution would be to: MOVE all the GUI controls 'individually' to the menu bar by dragging with the 'Alt' button held, since you can not move entire tool-bars in to the menu bar at-once. Additionally you can add other required controls in to the menu bar column and can also customize its icon via: Tools > Customize > [Click-to-select-control] > Modify Selection > Change Button Image. This way you will have only one column for all the buttons, typically recommended for a wide-screen. Also to remove any Item from the menu bar: you can Alt+Drag away the menu bar Items like "File", "Help" individually to make space.
