===== What is My Apps menu =====

[[Start#Tutorial|{{Opera:tutorial.en.png  |ZDYX's Opera Tutorial}}]]

There will be a **My Apps** menu next to the **Help** menu as shown in the screenshot if you are using [[HandyMenu|Opera Handy Menu]].

The idea of this menu is to enable quick access to some 3rd-party software and several system utilities within Opera.

===== How to customize it =====

To cut a long story short, there are three steps, and you can **finish it within minutes**. 8-) 

**Step 1** - Find "Handy Menu My Apps.ini" or "Handy Menu Pro.ini" in your computer, and open it with Notepad or any other text editors. The possible path:

  C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application Data\Opera\profile\menu
  D:\Opera\profile\menu

**Step 2** - Go to **[Browser My Apps Menu]** section, it should be like this:

<code>
[Browser My Apps Menu]
Item, "Adobe PDF Reader" = Execute Program, "AcroRd32.exe"
Item, "Adobe Acrobat" = Execute Program, "Acrobat.exe"
...
</code>

**Step 3** - Begin modification.

The basic format of a menu item is

  Item, "Name" = Execute Program, "path"

**Note:** //path// can be absolute path or just the executable file. Use absolute path when you see the "File not found." pop-up warning.

Let's take //[[http://www.ultraedit.com/|UltraEdit]]// for example. It is installed in //D:\UltraEdit//, and the excutable file is //uedit32.exe//. Then, we can add a menu item like this:

  Item, "UltraEdit" = Execute Program, "D:\UltraEdit\uedit32.exe"

Now that's all, it's easy, isn't it?

You can add a submenu as I did in [[HandyMenu|Opera Handy Menu]], I think it's easy to do it yourself.

**Please don't forget to backup your customization**. You can apply your modifications directly to future version of [[HandyMenu|Opera Handy Menu]].

Good luck and happy modification. :-P

By the way, somebody may be interested in the //,,,"Enable display images"// and //,,,"Note"// after the //path//. This will add an icon to the menu item, the icons are from Opera Skins, but please leave it along as it's just some small decorations. ;-)
