Which menu are you referring to?

The top-most menu (with 'Browse' in) comes from the template. To customise
this:
 - copy lib/templates/default.xml to archives/[archiveid/cfg/templates/
 - modify the contained HTML

The lower menu ("Login", "Register") is generated dynamically. To add a
link you would need to create a new Screen plugin and add it to the
"key_tools" list.

Hi Tim

Indeed special thanks to your response and suggestion. However, I wish to add that the destination directory to copy to "templates" could not be found in ".../archives/archiveid/cfg/templates/" in eprints 3.2.8 version which I am using. Infact, I had already made futile attempt with the same "default.xml" file located in ".../archives/archiveid/cfg/lang/en/templates" but with no desired end result. My attempt is to add a new menu with already existing top-most menu list. kindly render your technical advice to achieve this.

wit thanks
