Sharepoint hide items in menu

Question

Is there a way to hide: "Edit Item" / "Manage Permissions" / etc in a Sharepoint List?
I want to avoid to modify CORE.JS, maybe a JQuery hack/tweak?
Ive researching but I see nothing clear.

Answer 1

You only see these items if you have relevant permissions for the said list. Why don't you just turn down the permissions for the users that you don't want to have this functionality?

Answer 2

There is an article on MSDN to do it javascript's way.
