Copy this text into a a text editor and save as 'minimenu.desktop'. You can name it whatever you like, but it needs the '.desktop' part at the end.
Note: I hacked this together out of another program shortcut (I never bothered to learn the correct specification!).
To put on your desktop, go to the folder where you saved the file to and right-click 'open terminal here'.
Type the following and hit enter (it will vary depending on the name you chose for your file):
What is sudo? It means 'superuser do' and enables you to run an admin command without having to be logged in, and have all those powers all the time. For example, any script you run cannot do nasty things to your system without requiring a password from you. In this case, we had to use sudo because the areas of the filesystem used are locked out from normal users.
What is cp? Copy command, like in dos. You specify the original file first, then the destination.
What is '~/' It's the systems shorthand for your current home directory. It saves you having to type it all out or remember what user you're logged in as at the moment.
For the menu, do the same but type the following command instead:
