Hide "Screen Options" on the Admin Dashboard

About

This snippet hides the "Screen Options" tab on the WordPress Admin Dashboard, except for yourself. This leaves you in sole control over what info panels appear on the Dashboard. With this snippet activated, your client will no longer be able to populate the Dashboard with junk and spammy messages generated by installed plugins. This snippet may well be a good combination when using my "Scrolling Marquee" snippet so that the Dashboard remains clean and organised.

How to Setup Snippet

Very Easy. Paste the snippet into Code Snippets and edit the script with your "Username" and select the "Admin Only" radio button. Save it and you're good to go. Pop on over to your Dashboard > Home and in the "Screen Options" (remember only you can see this option) and select which info panels your clients will be able to see.
