Renaming The Start Button

To rename the start button, you will need a hex editor.
My preference is UltraEditCopy the \windows\explore.exe

file to a new name (e.g. explorer_1.exe)With the hex editor, open that

file and go to offset 412b6You will see the word start with

blanks between each letterEdit it be any 5 characters or lessSave the fileBoot to DOSCopy the existing c:\windows\explorer.exe

to explorer.org

Copy explorer_1.exe to explorer.exeYou will also need to replace the explorer.exe

in the

c:\windows\system32\dllcache file as well with the new one.

Note: If the partition is NTFS and you can't access the files from
DOS:

Start RegeditGo to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon.

Change the value of Shell from Explorer.exe to explorer_1.exe
