Icon Pointer

[armsys]

Referring to Scripting | Icons and States in the manual

You can pass * as placeholder to use the caption as icon pointer:
"C:\|*" goto "C:\";
"C:\Windows|*" goto "C:\Windows";

Questions
What's the Icon Pointer?
What's the State?

Uhm, I feel the manual is quite clear:
if you have a script which popup a menu with multiple captions, then
1) State:
Each caption can have a defined State:
State Default = 1
State Checked = 2 (a small tickmark on the left of caption)
State Disabled = 4 (grayout, cannot click on)

2) *
The caption's icon is derived from caption verb. i.e:
"Desktop|*" msg Hi;
this will use the Windows Desktop icon
P.S: From your screenshot, I can see the icon used for C:\ and C:\Windows are different. That's the result from usage of *

I still prefer your crystal clear clarification.
But the outcome isn't shown as advertised.
Referring to the script (see the screenshots below), how come Line 3 is missing from the popup menu?

Then, it should be a bug.

No, it's one of the nice "improvements" Vista has brought to us: From Vista onwards only one item per menu can be bold.

Thanks Don.
