StartButton Renamer


Recommended Posts

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?

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.

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.
