Start menu button text...
-
I have been messing around with the start menu caption.. it's easy in WinXP as once you have EnumChildWindow'ed your way down to it, it's just a case of ::SetWindowText(). However, it's not so easy in W2K as the window text does not correspond to the text in the button... I see that is has the BS_BITMAP style so it's all a bitmap?? any suggestions?! cheers Ad.
