Chapter 21. Apple Menu Options Control Panel
Apple Menu Options is a scriptable control panel that configures the Apple menu. This is the sticky menu that drops down from the little apple icon at the upper left corner of your screen. The Apple menu shows what’s inside the directory startup disk:System Folder:Apple Menu Items as a hierarchical menu. This is where the user can gain quick access to Chooser, Apple System Profiler, Network Browser, as well as the control panels and the contents of any folder (or alias to that folder) that you place in this location. For example, placing an alias in the Apple Menu Items folder will display the contents of that aliased folder from the Apple menu, as well as submenus showing what is in any nested folders. Handy!
Figure 21-1 shows the grand total of five elements that you can configure from this control panel. Recent applications, documents, and servers are menu items under the Apple menu that provide links via submenus to, for instance, the recent documents you have had open on your computer. You can script these features using this control panel’s application object (Chapter 1 , describes Apple event object models and application objects).
