The ones in bold are the only ones that are important.
Everything else is unnecessary (Add-Ins, Greetings) or can be reached through other menus (Send File, Direct IM).
You can't do this through resHacking, so maybe this could be considered.
Maybe have a check-list, where you can check off what you want/don't want.
EDIT:
Maybe for all menus?
