You cannot add a menu so you can turn on the items under the menu without first
turning on at least one of the items under the menu. Or in my specific case to
turn on the System Tools menu I must first turn on an item in that menu (i.e.

Re earlier comment, I wasn't enabling New Login in Nested Window - I was
trying to add Add/Remove programs which had disappeared. This turned
