I liked that Apple Script; it's gone now, think I last saw it in 8.6 or was it 9.1? Any way, just make an alias (com-M) and put it wherever handy (desk top, Apple menu items, whatever). To be real specific, there is a folder called Apple menu items in the System folder. Some are aliases, some are programs (you can tell aliases from the italics). Personally, when I start a new OS, I get rid of or move things from that folder. I like to have just what I need under the Apple, not what they start you off with. So put an alias of Mom's favorite things in that folder; or, put her things in a folder and put that in the Apple menu items.
