Help and Support should already be localized, perhaps the registry edit you used to restore it hardcodes the name? Additionally, SIB's Windows 7 start menu is already very accurate. You can modify it with it's own configurator to make it even more accurate. No need for more accuracy patches. how exactly can i make the start menu appear over the taskbar and below the start orb? like in the left image (windows 7) as well as not making the change affect the taskbar on my second monitor (which is set to the bottom of my screen)
also i am not quite sure how to modify the string for help and support, changing the "localizedstring" value in clsid {2559a1f1-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0} to what i want it to be changes nothing

Interesting, i traced the code and it seems like it's actually possible to change the "Games" part and the "Help and Support" part to be different.
if (mod_settings.MatchSevenFolders == TRUE)
{
Wh_Log(L"- Match 7 Start Menu Links...");
uintptr_t addr = (uintptr_t)(FindPattern("48 8D 35 ?? ?? ?? ?? 4C 8B F1 4C 8D 2D ?? ?? ?? ?? 33 FF",(uintptr_t)g_hStartIsBackModule)); // first check if pattern exists
SpecialFoldersList = decltype(SpecialFoldersList)(REL(addr, 3) - 8); // match address and add - 8 as offset, then cast to struct.
if (addr && SpecialFoldersList)
{
VirtualProtect(SpecialFoldersList, sizeof(FOLDERDEFINITION) * 22, PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE, &old);
FOLDERDEFINITION temp = SpecialFoldersList[10];
SpecialFoldersList[10] = SpecialFoldersList[12];
SpecialFoldersList[12] = temp;
SpecialFoldersList[10].strParseName = L"shell:::{YourNewGUIDHere}";
SpecialFoldersList[19].strParseName = L"shell:::{2559a1f1-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}"; // Help & Support
VirtualProtect(SpecialFoldersList, sizeof(FOLDERDEFINITION) * 22, old, &old);
}
}
Just replace the "SpecialFoldersList[10].strParseName" or "SpecialFoldersList[19].strParseName" with the desired folder's GUID or path  {Spoiler}
you can change the other items in the start menu too!! Maybe this will work, if it does then, jackpot baby!! 
How exactly would i go about changing other items in the start menu? Like for example the Network folder |

i just have a quick question. can the start menu be modified so that it's a bit wider? i've restored the functionality of the help and support button via a reg file, but it looks a bit akward. Attachments:

No need for a patch. There's a registry key for that. msfn.org/board/topic/181982-startisback-registry-tweaks/ |

For the "Match Windows 7 Start Menu Links" option, what file structure should be used to make Games appear on the Start Menu properly?

This isnt working for me. I have 2.9.20, the .dll path is right, and signing back in gives me an infinite "hold esc. to start without startisback" loop

I have 2.9.20, the .dll path is right, and signing back in gives me an infinite "hold esc. to start without startisback" loop I have it fixed, seems like it restarts explorer for no reason with very specific configurations. A patch is going to release soon once I finish a new feature I was working on. |

Yeah, I had the same problem once, when I clicked “customise” on the classic system tray it would run the explorer restart script for no reason |

If you set Start_RightPaneIcons to 1 instead of 2, it shows system icons instead of glyphs, which got me wondering if it'd be possible for those to be larger. In theory it should be possible; I just don't have the knowledge to make it happen.  |
