How to edit link tabs found on drupal's default user profile page?

Question

How to edit link tabs found on drupal's default user profile page? I am trying to avoid creating a user_profile.tpl.php file and rebuild the entire profile from scratch. If there is an easier way to do this, I would rather do it. But if I have to create my own template, how do I manage the menu tabs for the profile? I have not yet found the documentation that explains this part.

Edit

I did not understand that you wanted to make a general modification of the user profile tabs, without necessarily deleting them. I modified my code to provide several different examples of how you can change tabs.

Edit 2

The user_access() check for unset has been user_access() , since it will be checked only when the menu is recreated. Added access callback example.

You can do this in a custom module with hook_menu_alter() and unset() :

 function mymodule_menu_alter(&$items) { // If you have the Devel module installed, uncomment to retrieve list // of registered menu items to figure out what to unset. // kpr($items); // Change the name of the Edit tab $items['user/%user_category/edit']['title'] = t('Awesome edit!'); // Disable the user edit tab, but don't disable the page if you go navigate // directly to it // @see http://api.drupal.org/api/function/hook_menu/6 for other types $items['user/%user_category/edit']['type'] = MENU_CALLBACK; // Only allow people with administer site configuration permissions to // access the user edit and user edit account tabs. $items['user/%user_category/edit']['access callback'] = 'user_access'; $items['user/%user_category/edit']['access arguments'] = array('administer site configuration'); $items['user/%user_category/edit/account']['access callback'] = 'user_access'; $items['user/%user_category/edit/account']['access arguments'] = array('administer site configuration'); // Completely disable the user edit tab, even if you go directly to it // This affects all users, including user 1. unset($items['user/%user_category/edit']); unset($items['user/%user_category/edit/account']); } 

Each menu item is registered in Drupal with an array of $items . After enabling this module, you need to rebuild the cache and the tabs must be changed.

You can use the Tab Tamer module to edit the default Drupal link tabs that appear on user profile pages.
