 * Nice Plugin!
    Simple and easy on a per user basis.
 * But how to disable/uncheck earlier selected items?
    I tried to deactivate and
   uninstall the plugin but after reinstalling the previous settings will be applied
   again.

 * thanks. its true, disabling the the plugin and reenabling it will not remove 
   the settings.
 * i agree its an oversight to not have a ‘reset settings’ button, i will add that
   shortly and post an update. in the mean time you will have to go thru each user
   to change the settings, or disable the plugin and all the menus will return for
   your users.

 * i corrected this issue. the plugin now
    - removes all options/settings when deleted from the plugins page
    - includes an button to ‘clear user settings’ to make it easier to reset a user’s
      settings
 * new version is 0.3

 * Wow that’s fast!
    Thx for the work so far, but it’s not completely working. Logged
   in as administrator I disabled an item (Tools) for myself. Go to the dashboard
   and Tools menu is gone, so far so good. Go to admin simplifier and reset settings,
   but tools menu is still gone. Gone in the wp-menu as well as in the selection
   list in the simplifier so i can’t deactivate it. The option to disable the Tools
   menu in the simplifier settings page is also gone for other users. But logged
   in as a different user I still can see wp-menu Tools. Deactivate the simplifier
   plugin brings tools menu back. Uninstall the simplifier will now reset all the
   settings (that’s nice :-), after installing it again I can select all the plugins
   again.
 * Also I noticed it’s not working for every plugin
    for example: If I check Wysija(
   [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wysija-newsletters/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wysija-newsletters/http://))
   it will not be hidden, not for the administrator account nor for other users)

 * i have corrected the issues you noticed, please update to the latest version (
   0.3.2) to get these fixes.
    - corrected issue where users own menu’s being hidden interfered with plugin
      display of list of menus
    - corrected issue where plugins like Wysija didn’t appear in list – changed 
      priority of my actions so they occur later
 * please let me know if you see any further issues, or have any suggestions.
