With regular applications (not games) in neXgen, you can create a folder in UDATA for it.  Then edit your xml to list the applications manually, instead of having it auto search.  Then you can name it whatever you want.  The only reason you would want to make a folder in UDATA for it, is if you want to attach an image to the application.  In that case, use Image to XBX to create a .xbx image and name it TitleImage.xbx and stick it in the UDATA folder you made, then make sure the xml looks for the image in that folder.  After you reboot, you should see the name of the app and the image.

It's possible to do all of this with hex editing... the problem being I'm not exactly sure how to explain it.

What I did with those progs was use xbe renamer to add a name, then open the xbe w/ a hex editor.

The 4 spaces in the line before the application name relates to which folder it looks at.

None of these progs have icons or their own folder in udata because they all have 00 00 00 00 before their names, so they all use
e:/udata/00000000/

You could use 1 icon for all of the programs by putting an icon made w/ Bundler or Image to XBX converter into e:/udata/00000000/ called TitleImage.xbx

Or you could just replace the values with something, like 12 34 56 78
this will point it at  e:/udata/78563412/ which is the number pairs in reversed order.

Since I don't know how to find the offset w/ my hex editor, I can't point you at the right line. You could find the right location to look by opening a game xbe w/ a hex editor, then just go to the same location in the app's file.

I hope that made sense...
