Solution

1. How to remove the 'About this page' link
In order to hide the 'About this Page' link, BOTH of the following system Profile options need to be set to a value of "No"
"FND: Diagnostics" (Short name : FND_DIAGNOSTICS) and "Personalize Self-Service Defn" (Short name : FND_CUSTOM_OA_DEFINTION)
Once these profile options have been changed, users will need to logout and re-login for the change to take effect
If after making the above changes the pages still show the 'About this Page' link, then you can take these steps to confirm the issue:-

a. Check the profile options are not set to "Yes" at any level
The profile options can be set at different levels, so need to be sure the profile option values have been changed at all levels that may effect the users

Run this script two times, once for each of the following profile values FND%Diagnostics Personalize

b. Restart Apache
If all profile options are set correctly, then restarting Apache will ensure the profile options are not cached in Apache's Java Cache
