Found a useful script to remove the “This Site” option from the search drop down list in SharePoint 2007. Here it is (add this to your masterpage):
<script type=”text/javascript”>

function SearchScDDLInj()
{
var srhScDDL = document.getElementById(”ctl00$PlaceHolderSearchArea$ctl01$SBScopesDDL”);
srhSpDDL.remove(0);
}
SearchScDDLInj();

</script>
