This is how you activate this menu.  It is found in all Finders I have seen
(1.0 to 2.2x) and the patch works for all Finders that I have seen.

Find (using FEdit) the following hex string:

  7E0449ED

It only appears once in the Finder, but to convince yourself of that, repeat
the search using CMD-R.

The changes that you should make are:

Old: 7E0449ED????7005
New: 7E0549ED????7006

The two bytes represented by ???? vary from version to version of the Finder
and need not be changed.  I have not seen all of the new copies of the Finder
(3.0 with eject and reset in the special menu), but this works in all the
copies that I have seen.

The Resource Editor can be used to rename this command to whatever you wish to
call it or to add a key equivalent or even change the name of the menu.  (I
feel funny with a "Training" menu in the menu bar.  Sort of like training
wheels on a bicycle)
