The Category drop down is the same as other change objects like problem reports and change requests. It is controlled by a Resource Bundle, specifically, the wt.change2.CategoryRB.rbInfo. You can remove or add your own entries to this but note that this will also change those object categories as well. Steps are documented here:

Your modifications should be managed here: Windchill/wtCustom/wt/change2/CategoryRB.rbinfo
