Please, some help (Any Ideas??)

Change Start Menu Settings Problem!!
Hey...
I posted a Help-Message a week ago asking for some help on how to change the start menu settings.
Someone posted a Zip Project Sample, including a Class Module(Thanx a lot!!)
Anyway, that module needed some refinement so i've done some changes to it, and i got it working almost properly. I just faced a few problems that i could not work out!! Here:

After making the exe, i run it and did some changes to the start button. As soon as i exited the application, everything seemed to be just fine. But when i first used the start button, its image disappeared, without reseting to the default one. instead, the button face went BLANK, although all other changes remained (size, position...)!!!
when i restarted Windows, all start settings were reset to the default state (including the start image)!

Then, i noticed something:
---------------------------------
When i was running the program from the VB Project, the image disappearing only happened when i stopped the program, AND closed the folder containing the project!!
If i exited the project, without closing the folder, or if i stopped the Run of the program, without closing both the project and the folder, and used the start, its image will remian as i set it!
P.S: the image i was using was located in another Drive, so i don't think it's related to the Default Directory thing!!!

Anyway, please someone, HELP - SOS - PLEASE!!!!
