I once just changed the "start" text using resource hacker. As I remember it was a string resource in the explorer.exe, but to do it you need to make from another operting system instance (mean that your pc have more than one windows) because there is some kind of file protection system in the windows that restores the explorer.exe (I donno how!!) if it was tampered while the OS is running. I have no idea about the image, but it should be part of the windows skin (the luna)

Can you provide some sample code or any website resource on how to do this?

[toxcct]

just open Visual studio, select the exe or the dll from which you want to open the resource, select "open with resource editor" (which is not the default case), and open it...
