How to Add Applications
to the Applications Menu
The Applications menu is where you can launch NetSight Plugin applications. You can also customize the
Applications menu to launch your own applications by editing the NetSight.properties file.
Open the NetSight.properties file. On Windows systems, this is a text file located on the top
level of your <install directory>. On Solaris and Linux systems, the properties file is located in the
/var/Enterasys_Networks directory.
