    If you are talking the icons in the upper right hand corner, that means holding down the command key as you drag the icon off the upper right corner off the menubar itself.  Menuitems on the left of the help menu are application preference specific.  Not all applications let you control the menubar.   Applications withScreen Shot 2012-10-01 at 7.51.14 PM.png in the upper right can hide the entire menubar when you click on that icon in the upper right.    To bring it back, click on Screen Shot 2012-10-01 at 7.51.30 PM.png in the same upper right corner.  10.7 and later have that full screen capability built-in for applications that support it.
