Yes. Now you need to find the file in menu __{{emoticon}}__

Just got home. Leaving for San Angelo tomorrow,
Thanks Secipolla. Good catch there. I haven't updated my post since pcmanfm has been upgraded since my post. Hard to keep up with Linux developer changes on how their applications work. Going to go edit now.Actually there's no right-click option to open a terminal in pcmanfm anymore

I noticed something unusual when I compared my liveCD with my actual install. I remembered seeing pcmanfm and gamix before I updated. After updating those were missing from the menu. When in terminal I tried apt-get install gamix and pcman and the response was the newest versions were present. Is there a way to make them"reappear in the menu? I could repost this somewhere else, if you think that would be better.
TIA,
Dave

If clicking on menu>desktop>icewm>update menu (auto) doesn't work then maybe you could post here the contents of ~/.icewm/menu so we can see if it's some command that has changed.

In ~/.icewm/menu change this line (just because it's wrong):
prog"PCManFM Icons" pcmanfm pcmanfm --show-pref=3 to prog"PCManFM Icons" pcmanfm pcmanfm --desktop
prog"PCManFM Icons" pcmanfm pcmanfm --show-pref=3 to prog"PCManFM Icons" pcmanfm pcmanfm --desktop
