Adding and Deleting a Menu Item
A new item may be added to a menu by selecting the menu in the left hand Menus list and clicking the ''New Item'' button. This will display the Create Launcher dialog:
<google>ADSDAQBOX_FLOW</google>
[[Image:ubuntu_10.10_create_launcher.jpg|The Ubuntu 10.10 desktop create launcher dialog]]
In the Name field, enter the name to be displayed in the menu. Next enter the path and name of the command to be launched when the menu item is selected into the Command field. If you are unsure of the full path to the tool, use the Browse option to navigate the file system to find the application executable. For example, we might want to add a menu option to launch the gedit editing tool. To do so we would enter GEdit into the Name field and gedit into the Command field. The Comment field provides a place to enter optional descriptive text which will be displayed if the mouse pointer hovers over the menu option.
A menu item may be hidden or deleted entirely. Hide a menu item simply by turning off the toggle next to the item in the menu configuration dialog. Delete an item by selecting it in the menu configuration dialog and clicking the Delete button.
