So, welcome here...

as far as i understand You´d like to change the names for the main folders in PAM?
There are some ways doing so depending on Your experience with PAM so far:

  • download PAM 1.1 ß 4 https://portableapps.com/node/8450 ,
    then look for the .locale in PortableAppsMenue/App/locale ,
    pick one and open it with an editor,
    edit the folders and save it as "MyLocale".locale,
    start PAM, go to "options/language and select Your locale, that should work.
    The part concerning the folders is below, the strong words can be changed,adding & at any position within the word gives You the hotkeys (here Biggrin for documents..)

    ....
    ICON_DOCUMENTS=&Documents
    ICON_MUSIC=&Music
    ICON_PICTURES=&Pictures
    ICON_VIDEOS=&Videos
    ICON_EXPLORE=&Explore
    ICON_BACKUP=&Backup
    ICON_OPTIONS=&Options
    ICON_HELP=&Help
    ICON_SEARCH=&Search 
    ... 
  • use a mod (not supported officially!)to adjust the settings to Your needs, adding code (custum buttons in the R31 template)

If you want to change the

If you want to change the icons displayed in Windows Explorer for those folders, the first step is to find or make the icon you want to use. There are web sites where you can download icon files. (They are files that end in .ICO . Some icon files you find on the web end in PNG or another extension; they have to be converted to ICO.) You can make your own with a program like IcoFX.

Place the icon file in the folder, then right click on the folder (you may have to go "up" to be able to highlight the folder). Choose Properties, Customize, Change icon .
