Introduction

TO BE DONE...

Using the Menu Editor

The Menu Editor is a configuration tool for the Main Menu. It is very useful in setting up your system to your requirements. The Menu Editor is started by clicking on the Main Menu Launcher and selecting System | Menu editor from the Main Menu.

This will launch the Menu Editor.

The Menu Editor is divided into two main sections. The left side contains the menu as it appears now. The right side contains a tabbed dialog that allows you to add new applications to the menu.

On the left side in the menu tree you will notice that there are two main menu lists, one for User Menus and one for System Menus. The User Menus are for the current user and the System Menus are for all users on the system. The prepackaged applications are all located in the System Menus.

Within the menu list on the left side you may open and close folders and see what is in your current menu. If you want to add a new menu item simply type in the information for the item in the dialog on the right. Once the information is complete press the Save button and the new menu item will be inserted where your cursor is on the right side menu tree. You may then move the menu item by pressing the up or down buttons on the toolbar. You may also move the menu item by dragging it with your middle mouse button.
