Edit menu in lxde panels

Hello,

I pretend customize environment Lubuntu 16.04 LTS with, obvious, lxde panel ( :) I am a newbie guy and I need write about all for have totally assurance which I talk right about things :)

I know how customize lxpanel but I don't know, and I can't find answer on the web and how goggled about this, which is "how can edit labels and sublabels on menu"

E.G.
Menu->Applications->Calculator
System Tools->Lubuntu Software Center

How can change this names and add a new labels or deleted some of them?
I tried search in ~.config/menus, but I haven't folder menus. I only have this structure:

I found this article: https://lkubaski.wordpress.com/2012/...menu-sections/
But I can't found the ~.config/menus in my system

I found this article: http://askubuntu.com/questions/15683...ings-with-lxde
the result in my terminal is

Code:

xx@xxx:~$ sudo apt-get install gnome-system-tools 

[sudo] password for eno: 

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree      

Reading state information... Done

gnome-system-tools is already the newest version (3.0.0-4ubuntu2).

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 26 not upgraded.

and I found this in label "system tools" which "Users and Group". I think use this to configuration different layout menus for each users! May I?

[update]
I use "Users and Group" to create another user. This user haven't privileges to install but keeps privileges to change lxpanel. how can disable this option and edit specific menu and panel to this user?

Hi

Not sure what you want but here gose. This Menu->Applications->Calculator to this Menu->Applications->Adding Machine

If so you can edit the /usr/share/applications/xxxxx.desktop file
"Name=Calculator" >>>"Name=Adding Machine".

You can also hide them by adding "NoDisplay=true" to .desktop file

have a look here

Do Back up anything you want to change

thank you :) I love you! hehe
this is exactly what I need!

This changed affect all users in machine! But if I need hidden some applications only one user? How show I do?
Based in my knowledge I think which I need change a file in /home/user, maybe a file hidden in the folder of the user! But what files is?

You could use ~/.local/share/applications/ for users and put in there what you want instead of global 1 in /usr/share/applications.

It is also possible to change the icons as well in the .desktop files
