Change the text on your Xp Start Button.

Yes, it is perfectly possible to change the text on your little start button to anything that please you :D, before i go on to the HOWS i will show you the proof which confirms the fact that it is possible:
Ok now that we’ve done that lets move on to the fun and juicy stuff.. this may seem a little complicated though.
Ok i’m sure not all of you know this but the start button is located in the “explorer.exe” file so we will be playing around with it. It is advised that you make a back up.. so make a BACKUP!

Ok since explorer.exe is in binary we will be needing a resource editor, and im sure we all can manage that, click >>>> HERE <<<<>

Once you’ve downloaded resource hacker open it up and navigate yourself to C:/Windows/explorer.exe. You see in explorer.exe “start” is saved as a string so click the “String Table” tree, go down to number 37, click 1033 and you should find “Start” written on line number 578. Change “start” to whatever you please, like we change it to “SMART”. Once your done compile it and Save it as another file, something like “editedexplorer.exe”.

Ok so now you have to tell your windows to run editedexplorer.exe instead of the original explorer.exe, too bad the computer doesnt come with ears eh? We have to edit the register since our computers dont have ears. So open:

Start >> Run, type Regedit and run it.

Ok, for those of you who have no idea what the registery is or what does it do, i suggest you make a backup, its easy just right click my computer (in regedit) and click export. It’ll take a little time but hey, if you make one wrong move its good bye windows.

Ok when your done, its time to edit your registry. In the left tab click

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >> SOFTWARE >> Microsoft >> Windows NT >> Current Version >> Winlogon.

Once you’re there look for a file named shell, open it and change the value data to whatever you named your .exe file, in our case editedexplorer.exe.

Now just restart your pc and your startup should say whatever you wanted it to.

Note: You have to save your editedexplorer.exe in the Windows folder and if you want to change your startup back to normal just change the value of shell to explorer.exe (your default).

=) Try it out.
