Use OwnerDraw.

Entering .Net mainmenu ownerdraw in google gets a wealth of hits, here's one 
from msdn:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.menuitem.ownerdraw
.aspx

The Graphics property also has methods for drawing images.

Virtually all applications I have installed on my computer have icons next  
to menu items (e.g. the folder image in File->Open) but I can't find a way  
to do that with a  
System.Windows.Forms.MainMenu/System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem. Surely it's  
got to be doable??? If not, what component do I have to use instead?

TIA.
