Hi,
I tried to edit the start menu but ended in a mess .
I deleted /etc/xdg/menus/puppy-personal.menu.
Now there is (null) in the menu , like in the attachment.
How can i remove this null thing?
I don't need the personal sub menu , just remove that null.
Since we are here , this is the puppy-internet.menu:
@@@@@@@@@@@@

how can i change this menu name so it will be something like web?
I mean when i click Menu i will get web instead of internet.
I tried to replace the deleted file from the CD but failed to do so, how can that be done?
Sorry for asking so many stupid questions .
Thank you all.

I am not sure but at

/usr/share/desktop-directories

there is the entry

/usr/share/desktop-directories/Puppy-Internet.directory

which looks like

I believe /usr/share/desktop-directories/Puppy-Internet.directory controls the icon in the menu (I could be wrong).
Regardless, open /usr/share/desktop-directories/Puppy-Internet.directory, as text, change"Name=Internet" to "Name=Web" and Save-as /usr/share/desktop-directories/Puppy-Web.directory

Open /etc/xdg/menus/puppy-web.menu and change:

Here is how it is done:
1/ Go: /etc/xdg/menus/puppy-internet.menu (right click> open as text)
Change ''Internet'' in lines 4,8 and 10 to: ''Web''
Save and exit
Right click puppy-internet.menu > rename to :puppy-web.menu
You can also rename before editing .
2/ Go: /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc (open as text)
Edit line 16 like this :puppy-web.menu
save and exit.
3/ Go:/usr/share/desktop-directories > rename Puppy-Internet.directory to:Puppy-Web.directory
open as text edit this line:Name=Internet to Name=Web save & exit.
So far so good ha?
final 2 steps : open console , run :fixmenus ,when done restart jwm.
Thats all.
This can be used to edit all menu entries.
Thank you PANZERKOPF,Karl Godt and trapster , keep up the good puppian spirit.
