The menu uses .desktop files, which are probably in ~/.config/autostart or somewhere like that.

OK, when I right-click on either the launcher on the Desktop or the file in /home/TNAndy/Desktop, I do get a window named "Neverwinter Nights Properties". It contains the following on the "Basic" tab:
[The icon picture]
Name: Neverwinter Nights

Command: neverwinter-nights

There's an Emblems tab with a bunch of generic icons.
There's a Permissions tab that says I own it (read and write) and everyone else can only read it.
The Notes tab is blank.
What I glean from this is the launcher name is "Neverwinter Nights". The location of the launcher is /home/TNAndy/Desktop. The target command is "neverwinter-nights".
The specific problem is I don't know where, in the Linux directory tree, the command "neverwinter-nights" is located. I found the directory /usr/local/share/games/neverwinter-nights where all the game files are located, but not the shell script "neverwinter-nights" that appears to be the target of the launcher. Well, I assume "neverwinter-nights" is a shell script since the Linux executable is called nwmain .
When I tried to edit the launcher, there were no contents to the file--it was blank.
$ pluma /home/TNAndy/Desktop/"Neverwinter Nights"
There was nothing there.
By the way, for this discussion, I substituted "TNAndy" for my actual user name which obviously contains no capital letters.
