Hi,

I was futzing around with the applescript folder today, and I foolishly added the Apple Menu.menu to my menubar.

Now I can't figure out how to get rid of it!

Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks!

Hold down the command key. Drag it off the menu bar.
Nasrudin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side: "Hey! how do I get across?" "You are across!" Nasrudin shouted back.

I just can't believe you didn't RTFM before posting.

I just can't believe you're in a rush to delete an incredibly useful feature (that only occupies 1/4 inch of menubar space).

I just can't believe you're such a dick.

Well, maybe I can.

That was uncalled for.

I love it when people say that. Most things on the Mac are like that and it's awesome when you see it in action like this.

In fact people are asking pretty often in this forum how to remove these menubar items, but it seems it's easier to ask than to spend a minute and search.

These forums are getting ruined by nasty people like this. If it gets much worse I am out of here.
