Here is some code I use. Add it to the Cleanup section of your menu.

If _vfp.StartMode #0
	For padcnt = 1 To Cntpad('_msysmenu')
		cmenuname = Getpad('_msysmenu', padcnt)
		nremoved = 0
		nMax = Cntbar(Left(cmenuname, 10))
		nEmptybars = 0
		lFirst = .T.
		For barcnt = 1 To nMax
			cbarname = Prmbar(Left(cmenuname, 10), Getbar(Left(cmenuname,  ;
				10), barcnt - nremoved))
			If Not Empty(cbarname)
				If  .Not. ShouldIShowThisMenuBar(Upper(Alltrim(cbarname)))
					ccmd = "RELEASE BAR " + Transform(barcnt) + " OF " +  ;
						LEFT(cmenuname, 10)
					&ccmd
					nremoved = nremoved + 1
					lFirst = .T.
				Else
					lFirst = .F.
				Endif
			Else
				nEmptybars = nEmptybars + 1
				If nEmptybars = 2
					nEmptybars = nEmptybars - 1
				Endif
				If nEmptybars = 2 Or lFirst
					ccmd = "RELEASE BAR " + Transform(barcnt) + " OF " +  ;
						LEFT(cmenuname, 10)
					&ccmd
					nremoved = nremoved + 1
				Endif
			Endif
		Endfor
	Endfor
Endif

The Function called - ShouldIShowThisMenuBar()
Here you decide whether the bar should be hidden or shown and return .T. or .F. as needed.
