Adding a hidden system menu in a base map

A hidden system menu provide 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

3. Click the Save icon located in Main window toolbar.
