See the start menu icons in there? Put your own png files.. named whatever you like..

create registry values that assign the icon to the ext. Where? app.reg would be a good place to test.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\ Office Mobile\Adobe Reader LE.lnk]
"Group"=dword:00000000
"Icon"="\\Windows\\startAR-LE.png"

For a folder/icon that I want to have in a 'pre-ordained' position.. as in.. Do this favorite and rank thing with the rest of the icons (on the start menu, not its subfolders - that would be tiresome) and you can have the start menu look the same.. Not have to play that silly honeycomb game ever again.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\ Multimedia]
"FavoriteOrder"=hex:00,56,a0,05,70,c2,ca,01
"Favorite"=dword:00000001
"Rank"=dword:ffffffcd
"Icon"=\\MyTastyIcons\\meowmeowmeowmeowmeow.meow
"Group"=dword:00000001 <--- indicates folder

Now, if you use the MyTastyIcons folder.. you'll have to modify the app.dat folder to move it there.. This doesn't use the \\ to indicate a \. You may even want to rename it to a barkbark instead of the older meowmeowmeowmeowmeow file name. Personally, I prefer a bark file over a meow file anyday. So lets do that..

Directory(\MyTastyIcons):-File("barkbark.bark","\Windows\meowmeowmeowmeowmeo w.meow")

But, for fans of the meow..

Directory(\MyTastyIcons):-File("meowmeowmeowmeowmeow.meow","\Windows\meowmeo wmeowmeowmeow.meow")
The downside to that, is that you'll have a meow file in your Windows folder and theres just nothing good about that.. Its technically classified as a system file.

I just realized I wrote this for nothing, as an explanation was already posted.. Oh well, I just watched supertroopers.. That explains it. Meow.

ignore the space after the o and before the w.. for some reason.. the forum keeps screwing one of my meows.. oh well, nothing catastrophic. Good thing I use the bark naming convention huh? 10 points for me if this confuses the shit out of a new user. literally, they'll poop
With the help of others who also posted on this topic, I'm actually starting to understand this now. Could somebody elaborate just a little more on the "pre-ordained" positioning of the icons in the start menu? There is an example in this quote but it doesn't quite explain what to change and what to change it to, to set the order of the icons. Without what part of the registry entry to edit and what to edit it too, the example is kind of unhelpful.
