I searched the forum and someone asked a similar question and the only response was that the next major release will have this ability.
I'm not much of a developer so bear with me. So far I figured out that I can use a freeware program called resource hacker to open the .exe file and I also figured out that the name in the portable apps menu is linked to the Version Info resource "product name" value as listed below in bold. As you can see I changed it from "ClamWin Portable" to "ClamWin Anti Virus" so me or anyone who is borrowing my flash drive can identify it as an anti virus program. When I do this and save the .exe file it will now show up in the portable apps menu as "ClamWin Anti Virus" but it will no longer launch the program. All that I changed in the exe file is the product name value. If I replace the modified exe with the original it will launch again fine. It just won't launch my modified exe even though I only changed the product name value. Is there any easy way to maybe change something in an .ini file or somewhere else that would allow me to change the product name value to whatever I want and still be able to launch the program? Thanks. below is the resource I changed with the changed string in bold.
