Hi Richard,
Unfortunately there is no way to turn the naming convention off. Constructor
was designed to remove the tediousness of making all your resource types
have different names and ensuring no two had the same name. Because of this
Constructor appends the names of the forms, menus, etc. to the resource
types to distinguish them from one another. Sorry.
