Editing the Main Menu

Introduction

The Main Menu is a repository for your applications and can be found on the Panel. The Main Menu is preloaded with GNOME but it can be configured to fit your work habits. The Main Menu is broken up into three main subdirectories: Programs (System menus), Favorites (User menus) and Applets (Panel Apps). The Menu Editor is available for you to add new applications to the Main Menu but you cannot add applications to the System menus if you are not the system administrator (root). In this section you will learn how to add applications to your Main Menu.
