You will not be able to edit the location or name of the tool, unless
you have access to the uncompiled source code. The DLL files Revit
references in the ini file are compiled using Microsoft Visual Studio
.NET tools. I am fairly certain that the Earth Connector is not
available for public modification of the source. There is a room count
tool available in the Revit 2008 SDK, (not sure if this is the same one
you downloaded) which you could make the desired modifications you speak
of and recompile. The API toolkit is available for download - here:
