Thanks for your help dsader, but I can't get this to work. Here is what to do with the code if anyone else comes across this issue
under wp-admin/menu.php
comment out menu options you don't want to show up with //
ie. `//$menu[15] = array(__('Comments'), 'edit_posts', 'edit-comments.php');
//$menu[20] = array(__('Blogroll'), 'manage_links', 'link-manager.php');`
If you want these options to show up for the site admin but not for your users,
under if( is_site_admin() ) {
copy and paste the lines that you commented out. This will make them display only if your logged in as an admin.
