Hi Lee,

 I'm no expert on this by any means, but I suspect that removing the Admin page 
(I assume you mean the XEM main page) will cause you problems in that you would 
find it difficult-impossible to administer your created Wikis (i.e the wikis in 
your 'farm')

Why not just give your users the direct link to their wiki home page they want 
and leave the XEM wiki admin login for yourself.

In my case I havent setup host/domain names (the default XEM approach) so I am 
using the URL approach to get to my wiki home pages - i.e. the pages the users 
are going to see and work in.

So for me I use (assuming I'm at the server) I use custom port 8380 so you may 
need to change this your side, and of course the access IP as well.

http://127.0.0.1:8380/xwiki/bin/view/Main
gets me to the Welcome to Wiki administrator page - the farm management page

I then created ia 2 wikis - one called 'home' and the other 'projects' so now.

http://127.0.0.1:8380/xwiki/wiki/home
gets me to my first wiki of the farm - which I called home

http://127.0.0.1:8380/xwiki/wiki/home
gets me to the project specific wiki of the farm

---------

to get the above working requires about 3 line edits in xwiki.cfg

the docs for it are at 
http://manager.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/AccessWiki
---

Alternatively there is the host/domain approach where I could have something 
like

home.mydomain.local

or projects.mydomain.local

This is the default approach used by XEM. It looked to be a bit more RTFM to 
setup so I've skipped trying it for now.

Cheers
