is it possible to delete some of the defaults?
i'd like to customize the list, and get rid of:

help/new folder/get info (for example)

do-able??



thanx!

ah progress...
in os9 u could put items in (or remove them from) a contextual menu items folder.

why does apple think everyone wants their user interface/experience unalterable? (well, some of it...)


oh well,
will try fruitmenu, thanx!

You can do the same in OS X. However, you have never been able to remove built-in menu items, so I'm not sure how it's relevant.
