More importantly, if there is some control panel that you run often you can now  
put an alias to that control panel in the "Apple Menu Items" folder.  So you  
select the control panel without bringing up the folder at all.  Or you could  
leave an alias to the control panel on your desktop, so you don't even have to  
pull down the apple menu.
