(Try using a plain text email format. It's much nicer to read than
all this ...)

I believe that that style of menu is not built-in to Windows, and thus
you have to do all the drawing yourself. Windows only has built support for
text-only or picture-only menu items, but not both.

To help you, Windows supports owner-drawn menus. This means that Windows
will send certain messages to your app when menus need to be drawn by
your application.
