I'm trying the latest Windows 10.

I installed Office 2007, to see how it works.

The problem is the shortcuts are named all like "Microsoft Office Word 2007", "Microsoft Office Excel 2007" and if I add the tile to the menu it gets shortened to "Microsoft Office", for EVERY program.

So I went to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Office, I renamed the shortcuts, but still it does not show the updated file name. Rebooted countless times, still can't get the new file name.

Then I added a new shortcut in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs, but still does not show.

Do I need to run some command to reindex the start menu?

I tried to restart explorer.exe but still my custom shortcuts aren't showing...

You need to follow the below steps :

  1. Right click a start menu tile / item
  2. Select "Open file location"
  3. This will open the Windows Explore with list of all the shortcuts
  4. You may then rename the shortcuts as you like.
