To edit the Start Menu items, you'll have to delve into OEM\OEM_HTC\initflashfiles.dat. In order to see that file, you'll have to unhide Protected Operating System Files.

First, back up the untouched file. Then, open the file in Notepad and look for the commented out area "Start Menu Contents" (about halfway down.) Then look for the current entries that look like this:

Directory("\Windows\Start Menu"):-File("...

Replace the stuff after -File("... with your custom entry. Don't touch the PermDir entries. There's also a couple hiding further down the file, so search thoroughly. Remember, there's a limit to the number of entries you can have (7 I think...) You might have to play around with it until you get it to work perfectly.

One note of warning...I've noticed duplicate entries in the Start > Settings > Personal > Menu after editing this file. It doesn't seem to adversely affect the phone though.
