I think I know what you're after, this depends greatly on the window
manager chosen. I take it you want this script available to all users?
More exploration is needed but...
cd /usr/share/applications
cp <something>.desktop map_o_drive.desktop
vi map_o_drive.desktop
This puts the item on the menu... I think the desktop is created the first
time the user logs in so doing a global alteration to that isn't so
trivial. Of course with all the gnome experts here someone's going to
prove me wrong (hey I hope so!).
