Probably most of the useless menu entries are 'desktop' files in the directory tree starting here: $HOME/.kde/share/applnk/ You just need to go through this and delete the old, unneeded and redundant 'desktop' files. If they show up globally they will be in: $KDEDIR/share/applnk/ -- JRT ___________________________________________________ . Account management: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde.
