A previous poster asked about a fix for Netscape 7.1 showing Netscape 7.0 on the start menu. I found the following on www.holgermetzger.de/efaqgeneral.html#20

Netscape 7.1 on Windows XP: Shortcut on the new XP-startmenu shows "Netscape 7.0"

Start regedit (start -> run -> regedit.exe)
Two possibilities where this has to be changed.
Either in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SOFTWARE | Clients | StartMenuInternet | Netscp.exe |
on the right side, change the value and then reset the default Internet client.
Or:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER | Software | Microsoft | Windows | Current Version | Explorer | ShellNoRoam | MUICache
Look for "Netscape 7.0" there and change the setting to "Netscape 7.1" (or whatever you prefer).

This might be what you are after. I haven't tried it myself. I never cease to be amazed a how sloppy software developers are. It is a miracle any of this stuff works at all.

How 'bout

Right click the shortcut and select Rename from the Context Menu.

That poster could then have renamed Netscape to any version he wanted
