Modifying WordPress Menu and Dashboard

    I am modifying wordpress for a client of mine that owns a restaurant.

    My end goal involves slimming down the WP menu and dashboard.

    I have been able to accomplish this by commenting items from
    ./wp-admin/menu.php
    ./wp-admin/index.php

    and adding

    #dashboard-widgets {visibility:hidden}
    to ./wp-admin/css/dashboard.css to hide the dashboard widgets.

    and some general information to
    ./wp-admin/admin-footer.php

    Now, I am looking at adding elements to both the menu and the dashboard, so, if anyone has dealt with anything like this, any advice would be encouraging. I have found it difficult to locate all the necessary files for these changes.

    Also, I would prefer to write a plugin to make similar changes for me, so that in the future, the changes may proceed quicker.

    Please feel free to tell me I am describing my project adequately, and I can clarify.
