Changing the name of the Start Menu button

    1. Download and Run Resource Hacker, and open C:\windows\explorer.exe

    2. Click String Table > 37 > 1033 (XP-style button)

    3. Replace "start" with whatever you want ("hello", in the picture above)

    4. Click the Compile Script button.

    Repeat steps 3 and 4 for String table > 38 > 1033 (Classic-style button)

    5. Save the file (File>Save). Hit Cancel then Yes when Windows File Protection pops up.

    Note: If an error message pops up when saving the file, kill explorer.exe (Clt-Alt-Del > Processes > explorer.exe > End Process > File > New Task), repeat step 5 (save the file in Resource Hacker), and restart explorer.exe (Clt-Alt-Del > Processes > explorer.exe > End Process > File > New Task > explorer > OK).
