I've changed my start button text, but I can't remember the site that told me how to do it. First, you need to know that the text must be 5 characters long. You can however add a space(s) at the end if you want to put something smaller on it (i.e. Star[space]). 1. Make a copy of explorer.exe and put it somewhere where it won't get touched. 2. It is very important that you follow step 1, otherwise a reinstall of Windows might be required. 3. Open the copy of explorer.exe in a hex editor. 4. Find "53 00 74 00 61 00 72 00 74". That is hex for S[null]t[null]a[null]r[null]t[null]. Some hex editors require the space, and other are the opposite. 5. Replace only the letters with whatever you want. I did "53 00 74 00 65 00 76 00 65 00" = Steve. 6. Now boot from dos and rename your origional explorer to explorer - o.exe or something like that. Then swap the locations of the two explorers. 7. Restart your computer. Either it'll work, or you'll have to go back to dos, swap the explorers back, and start over. Hope this helps :)
