Relative Sharepoint newby here so be gentle! :-)

We have had a request to try to hide the documents section on user's my site pages. I have been trawling through pages and pages of sharepoint stuff but can't seen any obviouls way of doing it.

Is this even possible?

Thanks

Can you clarify what you mean by "documents section"? Are you talking about the Personal and Shared Documents libraries that are part of a MySite? Or documents that are listed on the user's profile page or something else entirely? A solution would probably depend on which thing you're referring to. – Samuel Yates Aug 2 '11 at 16:14
Thanks Samual. The terminology is still a bit new to me at this stage - thrown in at the deep end certainly applies :-). I do mean the Documents libraries on MySite. Basically, we have had a breach of security with confidential documents being available to everyone. It would be a nice to have to hide all documents on the public mysite pages until we can perform an audit of each sites permission. Does that make sense? – mike Aug 3 '11 at 14:46

There is a "classic" blog post by Steve Peschka on customizing My Sites content using feature stapling and a custom ASP.NET control to mess with web parts on a newly provisioned My Site (among other things).

The concepts probably apply here.

It's the only supported way to automate this. – Bas Lijten Aug 2 '11 at 16:57

It is somewhat possible. However, since My Sites are customizable and personal, they can add the web parts back into the pages. You would just have to create a feature that would remove them on initial creation, but the user will still be able to add them back.
