awTags was adding an entry to the navigation menu called 'My Tags'. This was irritating me because it was presented to anonymous users and was the only reason for the navigation menu to appear. Looking in 'awtags.module', there are no options to control it so I changed the source so it will only appear for logged-in users:

   1  /*
   2   * Implementation of hook_menu
   3   */
   4  function awTags_menu($may_cache) {
   5    global $user;
   6  
   7    $items = array();
   8  
   9    if ($may_cache) {
  10  
  11      // pcw: only logged in users can have 'my tags'
  12      if( $user->uid) {
  13         // /usertags/tags (my tags)
  14         $items[] = array(
  15         'path' => "usertags/$user->uid",
  16         'title' => t('my tags'),
  17         'access' => user_access('access tags'),
  18         'callback' => '_awtags_page',
  19         'callback arguments' => $user->uid,
  20         'type' => MENU_DYNAMIC_ITEM);
  21     }
  22  
  23     ... rest of function unchanged.
  24  }

I tested this in IE where I am anonymous (like all IE users) and no change. Forgot to flush the damn Drupal cache for the umpteenth time: the menu's are cached. I took the time to knock up a php script to flush the cache for me so I don't have to fiddle with the mysql command line:

<?php
include_once 'includes/bootstrap.inc';
include_once 'includes/common.inc' ;

db_query('DELETE FROM {cache}');

echo( "Done");

?>

Save the above in a file called FlushCache.php on your server and just open it in a browser to flush the cache. It may be advisable to set up your .htaccess so that only you can access the file:

<Files "FlushCache.php">
  order deny,allow
  deny from all
  allow from [my ip address]
</Files>
