In order to remove/disable site templates so that they don’t show up in the list presented by the Create Site wizard follow these steps:
- Open the following file:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\Template\1033\XML\webtemp*.xml - Find the template that you would like to hide and change the following line “Hidden” property of the <Configuration> element to “TRUE”.
- You may have to do an IISReset in order for the changes to take effect.

Stewart,
is this not the same as page layouts option at the site collection level, which can be found on the Site settings page and controls which templates maybe used in site creation?
If it is then editing a file in the 14 hive seems a bad practice to me.
You are correct! …for SharePoint Server 2010. However, this option, along with any “page layout” option, is not available in SharePoint Foundation 2010.
Thanks for clearing that up, Nico!
