 * One way – which could generate an error log entry – would be to rename quicktags.
   js to quicktags.txt
 * Or another would to download wp-admin.css, and put this at the very bottom of
   that file;
 * #quicktags {
    display:none; }

 * Thanks, that worked great. Is there a similar way to remove the “TrackBack a 
   URI ” option.
 * Thanks for your help

 * I can’t see an easy css way to do it.
 * edit-form.php
    Line 55 Remove the small block starting `<p><label for="trackback"
   >`
 * edit -form-advanced.php
    Lines 144-148 ` <tr> <th scope="row" valign="top"><?
   php _e('Send trackbacks to'); ?>:</th> <td><?php echo $form_trackback; ?> <br/
   > <?php _e('Separate multiple URIs with spaces'); ?></td> </tr>
