This chapter describes how to use the MATE Panel Menubar.

The classic menu is your main point of access to MATE. Use the Applications menu to launch applications, the Places to open locations on your computer or network, and the System to customize your system, get help with MATE, and log out of MATE or shut down your computer.

## Menu Aplikasi

The Applications menu contains a hierarchy of submenus, from which you can start the applications that are installed on your system.

Each submenu corresponds to a category. For example, in the Sound & Video submenu, you will find applications for playing CDs and recording sound.

To launch an application, perform the following steps:

1. Open the Applications menu by clicking on it.

2. Move the mouse down the menu to the category the application you want is in. Each submenu opens as your mouse passes over the category.

3. Klik butir menu bagi aplikasi.

When you install a new application, it is automatically added to the Applications menu in a suitable category. For example, if you install an instant messenger application, a VoIP application, or an FTP client, you will find it in the Internet submenu.
