Rename Start Button
Some entries in the start menu can't be set via settings in the registry but
can be set via manipulating the shell.
Standard shell for Windows is EXPLORER.EXE. Use a hex editor (e.g UltraEdit-32)
to make changes to binary files.
Always remember to make backups of your files before manipulating them !
Simple version
- Open EXPLORER.EXE with a hex editor.
- Goto hex address 02DF0E.
- You'll see 53 00 74 00 61 00 72 00 74, which is S t a r t (characters
separated by nulls [#00] not spaces [#20])
- Replace characters with five characters of your choice.
- You can have shorter names by including spaces for remaining places.
That's it.
