I ask as I want to have a folder in which I can put the duplicate icons I'm going to make so I can have shortcuts for the same programs on multiple desktops. If avoidable I don't want my 'Duplicates' directory in the Main Menu and just want to hide it away in the 'More...' one. Thanks

Yes, you can do. I edited the applications.menu file to add (after the <Layout> section:

Code:

<MergeDir>submenus/</MergeDir>

I then created a new submenus directory (within the same directory that applications.menu is), and copied the applications.menu file into it. I then edited the applications.menu file, replacing the top level "Main" name with "Applications" (as it's a submenu of the Applications menu), and the submenu "Applications" name with a new one. Then it's just a case of adding a new .directory file, and editing the new .menu file to add in whatever <Filename> entries you want.

I'm not sure I've described that too well, so let me know if you have any questions about it.
