If you want something more complicated, right-click the menu button and Configure it, then open the Menu Editor.

There are many other application menus, since everyone has their own idea of what they want.


I simply feel that what the OS can do itself, it should. I will grant that a good menu should be able to be overridden. Fortunately, most are.
Pinning to the taskbar doesn't work well for things you need multiple instances open. If hubby has a browser window open, I'll open one for myself so I don't mess up his open tabs. When using Explorer I almost alway need more than one window open if I need to copy files. I used the old File Manager for years after Explorer came out because you could have multiple shares or folders open at once.
