    I want to know if this can be done,

    Editing the joomla administrator menu, like renaming components to addons or removing some of these functions from the menu itself. Instead of showing registered,author,editor only one is shown as registered and like wise.

    I need this because i am developing a solution for a market which is not aware of joomla , so i need to make things simpler for them. Any clue how can i do it?
    new admin theme?
    editing admin css ??

    If you want to mess around with the looks of the Administration of Joomla, this folder is the one :

    ../administrator/templates/khepri

    or look in :

    .. /administrator/templates/system

    Yes, if you know .css and a little bit of how Joomla uses PHP, you can poke around and change some of the obvious things.

    i tried studying the admin template that i have, but did not find my thing which might help. I think the answer lies in editing joomla core or joomla database

    Yep, if you want to change menu items it will take more than just the khepri template to do so. Good luck.
