Removing Menu Items...

Hi,

I have followed this guide to get a normal Lmiunx desktop: viewtopic.php?f=39&t=1612

What I want to do is remove some of the pointless options from the menu such as the hotmail link , web storage, wikipedia etc etc

Any ideas on how I go about doing this?

Many thanks

 

If you're referring to the default XFCE menu you get when you right click on the desktop, then you can open a Terminal shell and do the following:

Code:

sudo su -
ls *.desktop (so you can find the file name of what you want to remove)
rm (the-ones-you-want-to-remove).desktop

I'd make backups of them if, for any reason, you ever want to restore them.

 

He's not talking about the XFCE menu, but rather Acer's desktop icons. He'll need to edit ...

~/.config/xfce4/desktop/group-app.xml

and either remove or comment out the lines that refer to those items.

Cheers.
