samo123_uk Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 Has any one used this program? (Startbtn renamer in windows title) I got April's PC Plus today and while looking around the DVD I found this program. It changes the name of the start bar , great i thought and installed it right away. Name changed , good so far. But after a while it strangley goes back to Start :s Is there any way of fixing this?

LunaC Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 I had the same problem with it, actually any way I tried to change the start menu it keeps going back to start :s I'm just going to take the easy way out and take my theme into style builder, move the windows flag & start button far to the left so it can't be seen and redo the button in photoshop to add the text I want. .... OK, so it's probably not an easy way, but nothing else I try stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2658_1437838185 Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 just use reshacker and the old method.. of rebooting in safe console mode and replacing explorer.exe like BroChaos suggests the 'start' does not come back !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuRe Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 I have search for "start" in resourcehacker and I got hundred of items, which one is the exact one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 Open up explorer.exe in Res Hacker and go down to the 'String Table' tree. Open up the 38 and 44 branches. Branch 38 is for the start button when you use any of the XP Styles. Branch 44 is for when you use the classic windows style. Just change the word 'start/Start' in which ever applies to you. Then just do the replacing in safe mode deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
