it's because the startportableapps.exe file is made with nsis with a crc check option built in so when you modify the icon the way you do that you alert the crc check and it will refuse to run. you best bet is to compile your own launcher for the menu.

You just need to place an ICO file on your drive and edit autorun.inf to point to it if you want to change the associated icon in Explorer.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
