Regards to installing EZ-pages into the drop down menu:

I'm a bit lost with STEP 2:

Step 2.
Add this code to includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/tpl_drop_menu.php
I think you meant:
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_drop_menu.php:

My default tpl_drop_menu.php looks like:

Code:
  <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_UNSUBSCRIBE, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_UNSUBSCRIBE; ?></a></li>
        </ul>
      </li>
      <li class="submenu"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONTACT_US, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CONTACT_US; ?></a></li>
Following the example provided in your step 3 instructions I'm still uncertain where to insert:

Code:
<?php require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'sideboxes/' . $template_dir . '/' . 'ezpages_drop_menu.php'); ?>
You suggested to place after:
Code:
 <?php } ?>
But I don't see that.

Maybe you can provide example file for the helpess?

Question: If ez-pages are enabled for drop-down header then they also appear above the drop down menu. Is there an option available to allow display ez-page links in the drop downs but at same time disable ez-page links display above drop downs? Or do I have to remove the following ez-pages display code segment in common/tpl_header.php?

Code:
  <!--bof-header ezpage links-->
  <?php if (EZPAGES_STATUS_HEADER == '1' or (EZPAGES_STATUS_HEADER == '2' and (strstr(EXCLUDE_ADMIN_IP_FOR_MAINTENANCE, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])))) { ?>
  <?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_ezpages_bar_header.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_ezpages_bar_header.php'); ?>
  <?php } ?>
  <!--eof-header ezpage links-->
