More info

For example, a new CS5.Mnu is included with Photoshop CS 5, which highlights all new menu options. There are also presets like 'Film and Video' or 'Image Analysis'. To use a MNU file, you can usually simply double-click it or reach it under 'Window-> Workspace. If a menu setting should appear here, the MNU file must be copied to 'Preferences / Customize' in the Photoshop main directory.

You can create or change your own menus under 'Edit-> Mens-> Tabs (Men)'. There is no way to load an MNU file. For a menu adjustment to be selected here, the corresponding MNU file must be in the correct directory (see above).
