My point was simply that it's not an example of any old TSVN Explorer File
Menu (as the name might suggest). As it has three menu entries, and one of
them has a shortcut overlay, it's use is limited to this specific example.
Having shortcut in the name helps and is consistent with the
ContextMenuDir*.png and ContextMenuFile*.png filenames.

Thanks for the tip. I had seen it, but hadn't looked at it since I
wasn't doing translation.

I used 'paint' in Rev 8936, borrowing from the SVN Book. I have been
thinking it might be good to stick with that (or something) for
consistency in most/all screenshots as they're done/re-done.

I understand completely. I guess I'm at a small advantage since I've just
started contributing - my menu is pretty clean ;). I am volunteering to go
through the extra effort to clean up a menu (VMWare, Photoshop, etc).
I'm not asking anyone else to do the same. I only made the comment to
explain why I was re-creating the image. Cosmetic update.
