The '''Advanced''' menu contains more technical settings than the rest of the Second Life Viewer, which is why they're usually hidden. Some of them are useful, but none of them are essential in order to use any of Second Life's features. If you'd like to enable the '''Advanced''' menu, use the following procedure:
 
{{KBnote| Most computers work with the standard '''Ctrl+Alt+D'''. Due to different keyboard layouts or other reasons, some don't. We mention '''Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D''' just in case.}}
 
{{KBtrivia| The '''Advanced''' and '''Admin''' menus used to be called the ''Client'' and ''Server'' menus, respectively.}}
 
==What is this menu for?==
 
The '''Advanced''' menu contains a lot of optional settings, most of which are meant to be used when debugging Second Life. A few of these settings, like '''Disable Camera Constraints''', can be useful in everyday Second Life usage, but you usually won't need the '''Advanced''' menu unless you're trying to analyze Second Life's performance or fix something that's gone wrong.
 
The menu commands in the '''Admin''' menu are restricted to Linden Lab employees only. Linden Lab employees (commonly called "The Lindens") all have the last name "Linden". You can ''view'' the '''Admin''' menu by enabling the option '''View Admin Options''', but you will be unable to use any of the new buttons or menu options that appear.
 
{{KBwarning| Nobody who is not a Linden can use the options in the '''Admin''' menu. The options in the '''Admin''' menu are for viewing purposes only!}}
