Types of menus
There are three types of menus in Photoshop which are as follow:

Application Menus
Application menus are the menu items available in the top bar (or menu bar) of Photoshop. For Example: File, Edit, Image, Select, Filter, View and Window etc.
Keyboard Shortcuts and Menus dialog box has ‘Menu For’ setting which allows us to choose Application Menus.
Here, we can find all the Applications Menu items and all the options available inside them. We can choose the visibility of options as well as assign a color to a certain option.
For Example: I’ll open the File menu items in Keyboard Shortcuts and Menus dialog box and change the color for New command to Red. Along with the change of color, I’ll also turn off the visibility for following commands:
- Open…
- Browse in Bridge…
- Open As…
The change in file menu afterwards is shown below:
