Re: Edit Menu
Welcome to the LXDE forum. Remember Linux is not Windows. However here is an easy "how to" for changing your main menu.

Re: Edit Menu
http://lxlinux.com/#9 is directions for editing menu categories. I would guess you are only interested in adding or removing applications, which is a much easier process. Applications in most Linux menus correspond to a .desktop file located in a directory regularly checked by the computer. So to remove a menu item, you need to find its associated .desktop file and delete it. For most apps this file will be in /usr/share/applications or /usr/local/share/applications. To add an app you need to create a .desktop file for that app and put it in one of the afore mentioned directories. The recipe for using a text editor to create a .desktop file is given in http://lxlinux.com/#11. There is also an excellent tool, named lxmed, that can be installed on any LXDE desktop, which will guide you through this process. See http://lxlinux.com/#8 for the story for lxmed, which does require that java be installed.
