I have turned off the downloads module as it is not needed, is there anyway to remove it or remove the downloads menu from showing up in the User box??? :o
You have to do that inside the folder and files through the ftp or cpanel.
/tp-files/tp-modules/ should be a download module locaded here. just remove the folder and it will be removed from the list.

Nope nothing there related to the download module :'(
A menu in the user box? Can you explain that a little better I'm not quite sure I get what you're asking about.

it is the standard TP User info block,
Displays these items in the userbox: Avatar (if any)
Logged-in time
Time
Unread replies/unread posts
but after it also displays the Downloads options you can do as a member ot admin, like upload a file etc.
Ah yes, if you go into the permissions for the membergroups you can disable the downloads permission.
Admin > Permissions > click member group. :)

I did that - but you can't disable it for the forum admin, so I continue to see it, and I don't want to. :'(
PVC,
You can't set or change permissions for Admins because Admins have all permissions by default. Otherwise they wouldn't be able to make proper changes to their Forum. If you don't want to see them, set yourself up with an account that you can use most of the time that isn't an Admin. That way you only have to see all the things an Admin sees when you need to login as an Admin and change something.

Thanks Zar - but that doesn't solve the problem, if I cannot get rid of the permissions, then there must be a way to totally get rid of the download module and its files and changes, yes?
Unlike the Shoutbox modules, I think the downloads module is actually integrated into TP, but I'm sure there's probably a way to totally remove it, but it probably involves finding and removing code from several different locations. If you're sure that you are never going to want to use the downloads manager then perhaps somebody else can help you but I wouldn't even know where to start.
Sorry,
ZP

Maybe it can be optional, like the shout boxes, in the next TP release?
It is planned to completely separate download and articles as well. If I get a moment I'll try to find the code to remove that link in the user block. If you'd like you can check the TPblocks.template.php file for the code in the mean time. :)

Thats the whole menu. This is the download link:
// upload a file?
if(allowedTo('tp_dlupload') || allowedTo('tp_dlmanager'))
echo '
<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=tpmod;dl=upload">' . $txt['permissionname_tp_dlupload']. '</a></li>';
