start button text

1. Download resource hacker
2. Copy explorer.exe to a directory of your choice (e.g. c:\mystuff folder)
3. From reshacker, open the copied explorer.exe

4.1. Expand "String Table" (left pane),expand "37" and select 1033 (String Table-37-1033)
4.2 Replace "start" with the text of your choice (this is for themed XP)

5.1. Expand "String Table" (left pane),expand "38" and select 1033 (String Table-38-1033)
5.2. Replace "Start" with the text of your choice (this is for classic windows look)

6. Save (don't forget where you saved it)

7. Boot to DOS (not DOS box)
8. CD to you windows directory (C:\>CD\Windows[ENTER])
9. Rename your original explorer.exe (C:\Windows>ren explorer.exe explorer.exe.bak[ENTER])
10. Copy the explorer.exe that you have edited using reshacker (C:\Windows>copy c:\mystuff\explorer.exe[ENTER])
11. Finally, reboot to XP.

Good luck and Mabuhay!
