Launch apps from the Finder without using a mouse

You can set up Butler absolutely any way you want.

Here's a tip that makes it much easier to understand. When you go to the Configuration View in the set-up window, that list you are looking at is what's in your menu bar. Every top-level icon is something that shows up in your actual menu bar, and things further down are children of those menu items (menu items). So if you want to get rid of one of the icons in your menu bar, just find it in the Configuration window and delete it (with the minus button at the bottom or the delete key). Or you can drag it inside another menu, so you can still have access to it.

The only exception is the Invisible Items folder. Although it is a top-level folder, rather predictably those are items that do not appear in any menu – they are still enables, so you can access them with hot-keys or screen corners you assign to them, but they won't be in any menu. If you wish you can even use Butler with no menu at all – just put everything in the Invisible Items folder.
