I've gotten very close to producing the desired effect. I have added the following keys: This produces the icon on the right-side of the start menu, but it does not function correctly. When I click the link, I get a dialog that states that a shortcut cannot be created there and gives me the option of creating a shortcut on the desktop. I'll keep chewing on it.

Ok i used this
Now i am not sure if you need all that. I just had a dell support right there so i searched for it in the registry and found it. Then i modified it. You will need an icon in you C drive. called DWeb. Note be careful this could potentially go wrong!
-T
I have also attached it. remember be careful.
Here is a screenie.

Ok, so now i figured out how to change all that i decided id share a small utility that i wrote a whil ago in C#.
Its called
Re-Name
what it does is help you rename various system icons like the recycle bin,my docs, my computer,network places, ect. You can also change the title of IE. I jsut added in the option to change the start menu icons.
These include
Search
Run
Help and Support
***************
Please Note this does make changes in you registry. Please usea it your own risk. This has been tested. But there is no warranty of ANY kind. i say again use at your own risk.
***************
an old version is here along with the source. If you want feel free to expand it. It could become a full tweakk utility.
Well its in the attachment.
