        Yeah, but it doesn't work.. it will change back to "Start" after a while... It must be somewhere I could change it.. I don't have to do it programmaticly.

            You could use the resource editors in VS.NET to change the string in explorer.exe or the core DLLs that Windows uses...Although, messing with that stuff is almost never a good idea...:~ Norm Almond: I seen some GUI's in my life but WTF is this mess ;-) Leppie: I made an app for my sister and she wouldnt use it till it was colorful enough:) Norm:good point leppie, from that statement I can only deduce that this GUI must be aimed at children:laugh: Leppie:My sister is 25:eek: -Norm on the MailMagic GUI
