df Page 55 near the bottom shows an example of the MCX file and setting the
time machine menubar item set to false. That's how we removed the menu bar
item for our image. The dock item for Time Machine can be removed from the
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dockfixup.plist.

I used John DeTroye's guide for MCX settings with Casper 7's new MCX
settings to remove TimeMachine from menu bar and stop the prompt for
TimeMachine backup to new external drives. One more way to accomplish the
task.

documentation but clear enough.
