****wait are you in windows classic mode?
Answer #11
no im not in “classic mode” and ok folder 37 now what?
Answer #12
oh i found the tut
heres the rest
1. First of all, make sure you download Resource Hacker. You’ll need this puppy to edit resources inside your Windows shell.
2. Locate explorer.exe in your c:\Windows directory. Make a copy of the file in the same directory and rename it explorer.bak.
3. Now launch Resource Hacker. In the File menu, open explorer.exe. You’ll now see a bunch of collapsed folders.
4. Expand the String Table folder and then find folder No. 37 (folder No. 38 if you’re in Windows Classic mode).
5. Click on resource 1033 and locate the text that says “Start.” This is your Start button, and now you’ve got control over what it says! Change the “Start” text to your text of choice. You don’t have a character limit, but the text takes up valuable taskbar space, so don’t make it too long.
6. Click on the button labeled Compile Script. This updates the settings for your Start button. But nothing will happen until you complete through step #17-19, so keep going!
Answer #13
kk thanks ^_^
Answer #14
Nice one mate. Let me just add this. It’s from the link I gave you:
A number of users have written to say that when the text on the Start Button is changed, the Search function from the Start Button (right click) context menu ceases to function. That's true, it does, and if I ever used that particular function I'd have been aware of the problem. I don't use it, so I wasn't aware, but now you've been warned. As far as I know there are no other caveats associated with the modification.
It’s not anything serious but I thought you should know. Good luck mate ^_^
