Hi Kelton,

Here are the instructions for removing the MRMS and Local menus in D2D:

* start CAVE and switch to the Localization Perspective
* expand CAVE > Menus > mrms > index.xml
* right-click BASE and select Copy To..., then select USER level
* right-click refresh the "mrms" entry
* double click USER to open the editor and change

<menuContributionFile>
        <include installTo="menu:mrms?after=MRMS_MENU_START"
                         fileName="menus/mrms/mrms.xml">
        </include>
</menuContributionFile>

to 

<menuContributionFile>
</menuContributionFile>

With this you can restart CAVE and will not see the MRMS menu at top.


A similar edit can be made for CAVE > Menus > local > index.xml
