Change the start button in Windows XP
In this step-by-step guide, you’ll be
able to change the text in your start
button to whatever you’d like!
Begin Disclaimer: I am not liable for any damage done to your
computer
system at all. This process is a registry
hack, and if you mess up royally and
do not back up your system properly,
you could ruin your system. That said,
this is incredibly simple to do considering I am only a
teenager. Start
by backing up your entire computer, if
you haven’t done so already. (Just in
case)
Download the program to do this
mod, you will have to download Resource Hacker, a freeware
program
that lets us manipulate the Windows
HTML registry. go to http:// www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/ , and
then download the europe
version. /> Use Resource Hacker!
Now you will open up Resource
Hacker. Go to File>Open>explorer.
Change the start text. Now that you
are in explorer, on the left go into String Table>37, and then
click on
1003. Select “start”, or number 578,
and change start to whatever you
want. It can contain any number,
letter, or other operation.
IMPORTANT: You *MUST* KEEP THE QUOTATION MARKS AROUND
WHATEVER YOU PUT IN! Otherwise it
won’t work. After you are done that,
click compile script, and then SAVE AS
(not save) as explorer1.exe /> Time to
get dirty Now this might get a lil confusing, so i’ll number the
steps.
1. Go into your start menu, and hit run
2. enter regedit and then open.
3. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE Microsoft Windows NT
CurrentVersion Winlogon, and select winlogon
4. Hold down ctrl+alt+delete, go into
processes, select explorer.exe, and
then end process. ( now your screen
will go blank except for resource
hacker, and your ctrl alt delete box) 5. Back to the registry….
scroll down
and then double click on shell. Change
explorer.exe to explorer1.exe
6. reboot with the ctrl+alt+delete box
and you’re good to go!
