I am trying to hide this Create Content tab in Navi, so far no luck.
I've tried to change access in node.module, it didn't work for me. Can anyone help me on this?
much appreciated

A work around, which is not the best, is to hide the entire menu from regular users, and then to create a new menu with all your other links on. Only the admin would be able to see the original menu which would contain the create content link.
heebie.

so you mean create a new block which contains the menus I want to show to regular users?
The simplest method in D6
The simplest method in D6 would be the Permissions settings, Administer > User Management > Permissions. You can remove all node creating access for authenticated users.

that's what I did, but for some strange reasons, the "Create Content" is still there. I thought remove creating access would hide the button
Try clearing the cache?
Try clearing the cache? I've tested the authenticated user role and the only node permissions they have is 'Access Content', and logged in as an authenticated user. As such I cannot see the 'Create Content' link in D6.

I did what you told me, cleared the cache in FireFox and database. and I still see the create content.
Bump
I'm having the same problem here.
What I'd like to do is to make the admin the only guy who can create contents. Since none of the authenticated members (or anonymous users) will be creating any contents they don't need to see the "Create content" menu at all.
So I removed permissions for "create story content", "create page content", etc. from both anonymous and authenticated users. But the menu is still there when I log in as an authenticated user! When I click on the "Create content" menu it gives me nothing as it should since I shouldn't have any permissions to create anything. But the menu itself wouldn't disappear.
I think this could actually be a bug that needs to be fixed. Why would you want to have a menu item that accomplishes nothing?
I'm still curious as to why
I'm still curious as to why this happens. I set up a test account (no roles other than authenticated), and modified the permissions for the authenticated account. The only permission they have in the node.module is 'Access content'. Logging in with that account gives me two options on the menu, 'My Account' and 'Logout'.
change the parent
just make the 'administer' submenu its parent, and it'll only show up in the administer menu when you're logged in with admin privileges.
