Adding and Removing Menus You can add either the Applications menu or the entire set of menus (Applications, Places, and System) to the bottom of the screen. This can help those who long for the Windows Start button approach to access programs. Adding All the Menus to a Panel To add the Application, Places, and System menu to the Panel at the bottom of the Ubuntu desktop, follow these steps: 1. Right-click a blank spot on the bottom Panel and select Add to Panel. 2. In the dialog box that appears, click the Menu Bar option to add all three menus. 3. Click the Add button at the bottom of the dialog box. Adding the Applications Menu to a Panel When you add just the Applications menu, it appears as a single icon. To move it to the bottom- left side of the desktop, in the same location as the Windows Start menu, you need to delete and then re-create the Show Desktop icon and the Window List. Here are the steps: 1. Right-click a blank spot on the bottom Panel and select Add to Panel. 2. In the dialog box that appears, click the Main Menu option. 3. Click the Add button at the bottom of the dialog box. 4. Right-click the Window List s grab bar and select Delete. 5. Right-click the Show Desktop icon and select Delete. 6. Right-click the new menu icon, select Move, and relocate it to the bottom left. 7. Right-click the Panel and select Add to Panel. 8. In the Desktop & Windows category, select Window List, and then click Add. 9. Repeat steps 7 8 to add the Show Desktop button.
