@MNK: BTW what 33333(Identifier) stands for? Isn't it a folder icon identifier in shell32.dll? That number should stand for define which command perform when you click at that text in menu. Example my file: [code] 215 MENUEX LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US { POPUP "", 0, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED, 0 { MENUITEM "~nnq&2603~", 2603, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED | MFS_DEFAULT MENUITEM "", 65535, MFT_SEPARATOR, MFS_ENABLED POPUP "&View", 28674, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED, 0 { MENUITEM "Filmstri&p", 28719, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED MENUITEM "T&humbnails", 28717, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED MENUITEM "Tile&s", 28718, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED MENUITEM "Ico&ns", 28713, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED MENUITEM "&List", 28715, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED MENUITEM "&Details", 28716, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED [/code] 28718 stands for thumbnails mode viewing. 28716 stands for details mode viewing. etc... 33333 I'm not sure, but probably it's meaningless. Just a place where you've to put some number for correct procedual. For me, I put 2603 and nothing going wrong with me even I click it (enable, not grayed). As I guess, problem'd be there if you put a number that duplicate any existed/functionable number. Whenever you click your name in context menu, a certain unwanted command performs (but in grayed mode, I think probably any number allow, 'coz disabled all of them already).

Hey VG,

Love the site and tutorials, about this name in the menu though,.. its just a visual thing, is it possible to assign it a command, make it open my userprofile by clicking it? maybe adding this command

"explorer.exe %userprofile%"

^^ The _original file is created by default as a backup. There is no need to worry about that file. You must have made some mistake while editing the file thats why its giving invalid win32 app error.

Try to save the file somewhere else after editing and then use Replace to replace the file.

I did try your tips to change “Start” word to something else. There are few problems. I am using winXP SP2. In Step2, after editing the expolrer.exe through ResHaker as i compile the script it makes another copy of explorer.exe and name it explorer_original.exe. I can not stop it, even though i have stopped the windows file protection by wfps10. finally i have deleted it in safe mode but the problem is when i try to start a new task through task manager it says it is not a valid win32 app. Any solution?
