in Administrator role is there a way to change the order of what appears in the main blue menu bar (left to right)?

Someone else can check my memory since I haven't dealt with it in a while. I think yes. Huge caveat being that you don't get to "save as" on your current menu structure and just make whatever couple small changes you might want. I believe you have to build the whole menu structure from scratch. Not just the single menu group you want to change, but the entire menu, all groups, all options. And I think that updates will often FUBAR your custom structure if you do want it badly enough to undertake such a fun endeavor. 🙂 You might not be able to do that with the standard menu structure even now that I think of it. The time I've dealt with that I believe was FAM, which has its own deal. Likely not worth it even if possible.

Easiest way is to fudge with the audience on things - but it's also an easy way to wind up with hidden stuff you can't find.

Basically, someone installed Strongpoint, and now there’s something called “Flashlight” that’s FIRST in the menu bar, super annoyingly moving everything else to the right
