    Eh ? I'm confused...

    Okay, yes, maybe, you can edit the text in the About, it all depends on
how the about box is stored - as Halbert said, if it's a bitmap, then
there's nothing you can do[1], if, on the other hand it's not, the text
string will be in the .exe (or a dll) somewhere...
    Now, this right-click thing - jeez, yeah, it _could_ be done, but is it
really worth the hassle ? Also, just how does this relate to the about box
text issue ? I can't see the connection...

    BTW - hacking the about box text, though sometimes fun, may raise both
moral and potential legal questions...

[1] actually, that's not entirely true, 'cos the bitmap will be stored in
the exe (or a dll) somewhere and if you can find it you can modify it...
