similar like in OptTool. means not just make the entries grey. Completely hide them

Hiding specific (menu) items should only happen if they are not relevant in a specific context or for a specific user group. I think both does not apply, here, so greying out is correct.
Which advantage do you see in hiding the disabled menu items completely?
