There are a few options for displaying the admin menu. In Settings, enabling or disabling Show admin menu graphics? will show admin icons or not.

Admin menu selections can be displayed all on a single page or organized into sections (tabs). The default setting is Use extended admin, which organizes the elements into 5 tabs. These are

Adding New and Third Party Modules

The admin icon for new (previously unactivated) and third party modules (in other words, all new modules) does not appear automatically on the admin menu. There is no way of knowing under which tab it should be located. If you have installed any new modules, go into the admin menu and click on the Edit admin link at the bottom. It will take you to the edit admin screen replicated above. You will see the new modules appear near the bottom, where the RteMulti module appears in our example. You may select which tab under which to place the module.

By cicking on Edit Tab, you may rename it, delete it and move its elements to other tabs. You may alsxo make one tab the default tab. This will be the one you initially go to when you click on Administration.
