U need this program to change the name of the start button.

You used to be able to do it by hex editing user32.exe, but I'm not sure if that still works. Also, whatever you change it to can only be 4 characters.

what program is that??

i wonder why only 4 characters if the start button has 5 characters.

what program do i use for hex editing the user32.exe file?

I used the Elder Geek's site to change my Start button last June. I still have it, although I've changed styles a couple of times.

Have you figured out how to get rid of the flag (or change it)? It's under Bitmap/143/1033. Open your modified explorer.exe with Resource Hacker and go to the actions tab, down to replace bitmap, open that then pick the bmp you want to change and pick the new bmp and save again.

I use a program called styleXP by TGTsoft. You can get all kinds of themes too.....really neat ones.
