OK Zubaz try this here and see if it helps a bit...
Uninstall your IP and reinstall it to this location:
C:/stardock/objectdesktop/icon packager
and after you install and move your icon packages to that location ; then share the folder with everyone in properties for security. Then give your startup cmd a refresh for the proper location and try it one more time. There may also be a cmd to do so with a delay cmd. this could make the difference. Will see more here when I get home.

Thanks for the manual fix!   

SGT,  the package is applying (mostly) so permissions are good.  Also, I am applying them as an admin with UAC turned off.
Further, I can apply the theme through IconPackager and everything is applied as expected.

I'll hold off more testing until bagginz pops back in here with commentary.

OK Zubaz - I've just had some better luck with the way Vista writes to the regs with files placed other than in program files as with WB6 and others is all I'm saying - but hey thats good to heargona give things a go now that I'm home and see what happens here.

Hey Thanks Zubaz!

Ok finished and good quick fix! But with mine I use my stardock programs as I said in a shared folder on c: drive. Thus instead of using the startup folder for the command I placed the command in the registry in two places for each user. With the command files in a folder on c:drive. Thus all you see when the system loads is system 32 command.exe with the command text it is executing till it is finished executing the command. I could of written more to the command to include a registry command to delete those keys that it creates when the package is applied to resolve the other problem. That with the wrong text being applied to the start menu items for IE and Mail. But it also changes the icons to a default windows icon. Thus I'm not happy with that fix. So I've made a zip folder with copies of my text type files of the registry values changed and where they where changed at. Plus a sample of your command you have written earlier - which I also used.
Very nice idea I'll say~!!
Anyway thanks a million - this has save me a few more headaches about whats what with icons for users. That and the other users richly like the whole of the idea. With me being the true administrator of this Vista Ultimate account via group user policies - makes it better this way no one can just change the icons without consulting me first.

OK, with the IP update that just hit (3.20a[rc].033), does this include the fixes?

It seems to!
Though I am on Vista x64 (HOORAY FOR IP NOW WORKING ON IT!) it does seem to now be showing the text.

Similar problem under Windows XP and latest build of IconPackager.

Start menu links bug is still there with the latest build (3.20a[rc].033) on Vista Ultimate.

That update was only to arrange the program file placement for what is come this week with other updates for the final release. Have patience everyone... they are working on it. As soon as it is done there will be two other updates to the program. I believe that is what I heard. One more release candidate and if works well? The release with other goodies I'm sure of... So hang in there~!

DanntDPX, you will need to logoff and backon again for the fix to take place with the new version.

I know, I should be patient, but a month and a bit after the last build (which seemed to clear up the folder system attributes bug, but not the start menu one) we've heard nothing. Can we please have a progress update on what's going on? For me, this is a blocker, stopping me from using IP until it gets fixed... which is a shame.

*bump*

Still not working for me either might I add, deleting those reg keys fixed the problem though. (using latest beta version)
Everytime an ip theme is applied this problem returns.

Sorry for bumping, but I thought I'd let you guys know that I reformatted to x64, installed the IP beta and applied the Magic icons, oddly enough its working properly now...
