I’m getting lots of mails regularly asking same question - How can I change Start button text in Windows?
Although I have mentioned it in following tutorial:
List of a few Locations in Windows XP to be Hacked Using Resource Hacker
But many times ppl miss this article. So today I decided to write a small separate tutorial about it:
1. Open “%windir%\Explorer.exe” file in Resource Hacker.
2. Goto:
“String Table -> 37 -> 1033 -> 578” (If you are using Luna theme)
“String Table -> 38 -> 1033 -> 595“ (If you are using Windows Classic theme)
3. You’ll get a string “start”. Just change it with whatever text you want to show. Make sure you put quotes.
4. Compile the script and save the file. Thats it. You have done.

You need to disable WFP service using WFP patcher. Download it from “Downloads” section and run it in Safe Mode.
