A quick hack to change the start menu text to something besides start. note: Do not attempt this hack if you run ad-aware or you do not have SP2 installed. Also note that although you can make the text longer than 5 characters, I have not personally tested it, and therefore do not recommend it.

By RODHA 1188718587 Reply Spam [+22] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove3861233- please becareful with this method...
by changing the registry and pointing at a different shell than "explorer.exe" somtimes a virus prog. or reg cleaner will pick up the new shell as a problem and clean it ie "explorerhack.exe" once its cleaned you wont be able to logon to your desktop, i see a guy posted that this broke his PC.. very plausable, this was probably the case... but if this happens its easy to fix, when you logon start task manager> newtask>regedit and point the shell back to the original exe

im a technician and i could tell that his computer needed a clean up, when he opened his windows folders, there were a bunch of large size garbage files, watch my vid to find out how to clear your pc of up to 2gbs of space

you sick minded freak:(6682992 - It could have been easily fixed.
If this broke your computer (i.e. you couldn't access your desktop) don't worry, you're in good company. It happened to me, too, and I didn't pay a dime to fix my system. If you're interested, click the "thumbs up" button and I make a vid explaining how to fix it.

all you people who don't even know where the register editor is
PLEASE don't try it
it's means you underastimate your knowlegde of windows
and like already a couple of people posted here
they mested it up!!!
If you haven't heard any of the terms used in this video, it's best that you DO NOT try this. It works fine when done correctly
By Smicks 1196051857 Reply Spam [+2] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removebut resource hacker doesn't seem to read x64 explorer.exe.

i think he may have stopped the devolpment of it before x64 manchines....

You MUST keep it at exactly 5 characters or it won't load the desktop upon log in/boot. I tried it.

Thanks man work like a dream I got 7 characters on the start button it just makes it longer as if it were ment to be change and i even got capitalized letters
By SMG MP7A1 1192909396 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI know that this works, but when I restarted my computer, the only thing that showed up was my desktop background. I fixed that problem, but I still can't get this hack to work. Any ideas?
By generalbeaner 1192418275 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemovePS.
Is there any way to change the COLOR of the start button?
There are no length restrictions except that of the toolbar itself, and no need to change a number in any piece of registry. Tested that myself. Mine is 17 characters long, no problem.
By bentpaperclip 1192150426 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeif you have different profiles on your pc, will it change on every single profile??

If you are running a classical interface (the one without the green stylized start menu), you need to change string table 38, not 37.

I think its got to be exactly five characters right? so if you have like three just add two spaces after
By jedg3 1188844199 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveIs smart.
However, this is some of the DUMBEST SHIT IVE EVER SEEN.
Id advise anybody who does not know what they are doing to stay away from this, or you're going to completely f*ck up your computer.
why didnt it work with me correctly?? i got some problems. after i done what u did in the video and restarted my computer the Start changed i was happy with that but if i open any folder or program and clicked on the X button(exit) internet Explorer opens up with a new blank page. its good that i made a back up to the explorer.exe at first. so i done everything is it used to be and internet explorer stoped showing when i click on the X button. i might try it again and might work. anyways thx.
By Boyd91 1192408889 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveAt the end, you do not have to restart your computer. Simply open your task manager (achieved by pressing Alt Control Delete), click the Processes tab, and find explorer.exe. Select explorer.exe then press 'End Process'. After that, your windows bar at the bottom WILL disappear, so don't freak. Click the Applications tab, push 'New Task...' then type in the new name you have used for your explorer.exe, such as in what was used in this video, explorerhack.exe

In finland we have text "Käynnistä" instead of "Start" so you may able to use 9 letters... I think.
By Spemelitykki 1190208283 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removelooks good, you dont have to always redirect it via registry, it makes it harder to actually repair the PC, overwriting the explorer.exe does the trick, then move the backup into place if you do not like it.
more than 5 letters on the start button will prolly just stretch it, or the letters do not show
in the past. If i can recall well, it was mentioned that the new text had to be 5 letters long, just as "start" is. I might be wrong about this, or it could be for WindowsNT or Windows2000. It was mentioned that any other lengthed word than 5 letters would cause problems.
Any hint about that? Just trying to help, hope I am not misleading people.
- no you are right
i've known this trick for along time...
By DiaboIik 1188800032 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove
and you are right if you put in a word with more than 5 letters you have to do another registry modification,
cant remember where but you have to tell windows how many letters the start button will have (mine is 8 letters).
i tried afirst time without changing value for number of letter and mess up.
but when i modified the value for 8 , it worked well.
i'm still using it as of now
i took the trick from kelly's corner !
go there hope it help !4771018 - To help others out further more....
