    Go to the List Settings page. Click on "Advanced Settings". Select the radio button that says you can manage content types, then save. When you're back on the List Settings page, you'll now see your content types listed. Underneath that listing, you can see a link that says "Change new button order and default content type". When you click on that link, it will take you to a page where you can check or uncheck a checkbox, indicating if you want the content type to be available on that "New" menu or not. You can also select the order in which the content types show up in the New menu.

    If you use UI go to List Settings. There is a section where you can set content types to be shown in the "New" button and the order of them (Content Type management has to be obviously activated).

    If you want to do it by code:

    list.ContentTypes["ContentTypeName"].Hidden = true;
    list.ContentTypes["ContentTypeName"].Update();

    Hope that helps
