    Ive used Menu Editor, but it only edits so much. How can you edit the " - - - include - - - system " part of the menu?

    The "include" part of the menu is generated automatically from files in /usr/share/applications/*.desktop and its subdirectories. To remove an item from the menu, issue the following commands in a terminal window:

    Code:
        
   cd /usr/share/applications
   sudo mv xxx.desktop xxx.desktop.HIDE
   xfdesktop-xfce --reload
    where "xxx" is the name of an application.
    To restore the item to the menu, rename the file back (remove the .HIDE suffix).
