Remove parts of the Default web store

Let's say I need to remove the "Manufacturer" from my site...is there a use friendly way to do so,
or I need to go into each page, one by one and remove from HTML.

thanks.

and if I need to remove the parts manually, is there a doc that tells me what I might be breaking code wise if I only remove the HTML part?

If you don't set up any manufacturers the manufacturer navigation wont show.

If you do want manufacturer's but dont want to show them, just remove the manufacturer navigation control from the default content in your master page content placeholders and any other pages where it has been explicitly added (think perhaps just default.aspx).

If you want to stop people from navigating to the manufacturer pages directly then delete them or just force a redirect back to the home page.

Could I conceptually start a full new project from an empty website and use the controls at will?
Are they any DLL (with no source code) that are needed in order to make this site work?
