Adding

a

hidden

system

menu

in

A

hidden

system

menu

provides

a

method

to

make

menu

items

available

outside

of

the

normal

flow

of

the

installation

menus.

For

example,

you

might

want

to

make

several

utilities

available

through

a

hidden

system

menu

to

help

solve

diagnostic

or

recovery

issues

on

the

target

computer.

Instead

of

including

the

menu

as

part

of

the

normal

flow,

by

using

a

hidden

system

menu,

the

utilities

would

be

available

anytime

while

the

installation

menus

are

active

by

typing

a

system

menu

keyword,

and

the

utilities

would

be

accessible

only

by

persons

authorized

to

perform

the

advanced

functions

associated

with

the

utilities.

You

are

limited

to

one

hidden

system

menu

per

Menu.

menu

keyword

menu

password

do

the
