But is not working.
Any ideas why ? Thanks.

Hello Stereo,

I do not know what you are referring to. Could you give more details and explain what you are talking about?

Okay, Brink.
Look, for example : i have in the Start Menu, the Acronis shortcut.
I wanted to rename it "ACRONIS" but is not possible ( caps lock problem in OS ? )
Now is "Acronis"
Can i rename it ACRONIS ??

Stereo,

That description is much better.

The issue is that the file names are not case sensitive in Windows 7, so whether it's all capitalized or lower case, Windows 7 sees the name as the same so it doesn't think you are actually renaming it.

To workaround this, rename it to Acronis1, then rename it again to ACRONIS so Windows 7 will see it as an actual change and allow it.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

You will admit that the start menu are shortcuts, so any change here will change any s/cut you have on your desktop.

In Start menu Right click s/cut to change>Properties, select General, replace any text in top box to what you require OK.
You'll find its disappeared out of start menu but desktop shortcut has changed, Right click>Pin to Start menu.

East-peasy

Its strange but renaming a desktop item won't change the Start menu, but changing the Start menu item alters the desktop one.
