How do you limit the site templates available for sub sites to Portal or WSS site?

When creating a sub site to either a portal site or a site colleciton you are presented with a list of templates to choose from. I want to limit this list. Anyone know how I can pick and choose which templates my users see when they try to create a sub site

Thanks

    In sharepoint 2007, the templates are 'features' which can be activated and de-activated using the STSADM.exe tool that comes with sharepoint. You can use this tool to de-activate templates. Another option (also for the 2003 version) is to 'hide' the templates in the list, which can be specified in an XML file on the webserver (WEBTEMP.XML for example). This xml file contains the list of site definitions (the templates) and can be marked with an option 'Hidden=true', which makes them invisible.
