RENAME THE START BUTTON

To rename the start button,
you will need a hex editor.
My preference is UltraEditFOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW :-

• Copy the \windows\explore.exe file to a new name (e.g. explorer_1.exe)


• With the hex editor, open that file and go to offset 412b6


• You will see the word start with blanks between each letter


• Edit it be any 5 characters or less


• Save the file


• Boot to DOS


• Copy the existing c:\windows\explorer.exe to explorer.org


• Copy explorer_1.exe to explorer.exe


• You will also need to replace the explorer.exe in the c:\windows\system32\dllcache file as well with the new one.

• Start Regedit


• Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon.


• Change the value of Shell from Explorer.exe to explorer_1.exe

Note :

• This will only work with Win XP/NT/win 9x.


• If the partition is NTFS and you can't access the files from DOS.
