How to hide buttons in SharePoint - SharePoint Toolbar Manager

Today i needed a solution to hide the new button in a view. If found an elegant solution on Codeplex, the "Toolbar Manager"

Toolbar ManagerThis Feature allows you to selectively show and hide menu items on the standard list/library toolbar. The feature adds a new web part to the gallery that you can place on any list/library view page. Once placed on the page, you can use the properties of the web part to show or hide menu items. This is the perfect solution for hiding a single menu item such as “Export to Spreadsheet” to prevent users from taking that action.

This feature belongs to the "SharePoint 2007 Features" on Codeplex http://www.codeplex.com/features which contains many other interesting features!
