Adding a hidden system menu in a base map
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 base map.

appear during the installation process; then, click Set as System Menu.
