How to Remove Show All Menu Items From Photoshop
The "Show All Menu Items" option in Adobe Photoshop can be confusing to new Photoshop users. Because Adobe Photoshop features such a wide variety of image adjustment tools, it can be overwhelming for a novice editor to learn each of the tools at once. For these users, removing the "Show All Menu Items" option is a good idea. New users often activate the "Workplace Switcher" option when installing and configuring Photoshop, not knowing that this option can make the program more difficult to learn. To remove "Show All Menu Items," deactivate this option.

Tips & Warnings
If you want to see the more-advanced options that you have now hidden without re-enabling "Show All Menu Items," hold down the "Shift" key when opening a menu. This will reveal the hidden options but will not reactivate "Show All Menu Items."
When you are ready to begin learning more-advanced Photoshop tools, return to the "Window" menu and choose a different advanced option from the "Workspace" menu.
