I always put them at "/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/" so they are
available to other users. I don't think I have read anything by Apple
detailing the specific location of a Menu Extra item for an individual user
though.. I guess you could create a Menu Extras directory at
"UserName/Library/" ??

first, it doesn't appear that the ScriptMenu.menu file needs
to be placed anywhere special. mine's in
/Applications/Utilities, but dragging it into the menu is
what "installs" it. presumably this writes a preference into
a plist somewhere, but i don't know where. if this
preference is (as many are, unfortunately) in the form of a
hard path, then moving the file could disable the menu.

but if you're putting anything in /System/Library, consider
putting it in /Library (for all users) or ~/Library (for
specific user) instead. this keeps /System sacred (though
some installers will touch it), and makes it much more clear
what to preserve if you are going to reinstall your system.
