you have 2 options:
1. use a menu mod, or
2. recompile each launcher with changed credentials.
doesn't the menu read the file description?
But there’s no sense crying over every mistake,
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
What do you mean by, "recompile each launcher with changed credentials."?
ok, go to the launcher source (Other\Source\AppNamePortable.nsi) and open it with something like Notepad, or Notepad++. find this line:
VIAddVersionKey FileDescription "${PORTABLEAPPNAME}"and replace ${PORTABLEAPPNAME} with whatever you want it to show up as in the menu.
then, finally, compile with NSIS.
But there’s no sense crying over every mistake,
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
Compile with NSIS? What's NSIS?
Search for either the geek.menu or PortableAppMenuModR34

Don't wanna live my life in the real world
