Hi,

I have downloaded numerous utilities created by the MVPs. (Thank to all of
you, they are excellent tools.) Anyway, several of them create new menus on
the menu bar. Is there a way to have consolidate things into one menu? I
have tried the customization process used with toolbars, but every time I
exit and return they have moved back to separate menus.

Hi there,

Sorry, there is no easy way to do this. You would need to code your own
solutions. This would also mean that you would have to adapt the code
written by others. That means checking for copyright permissions and
actually making the code adjustments. Very difficult. Sorry.

No, they are most likely created at installation/open, and are named by the
utility, so it is out of your control.

Maybe this would do the job for you.
You will need to add two buttons of your own.
One to call sub ListMenuInforRevised and
one to call sub RemoveSpecialToolbar.
