change start menu name

To change the name of the Start button:

Copy EXPLORER.EXE in your Windows directory to another directory
Start a hex editor (use resource hacker)
Edit EXPLORER.EXE
go to "string table" & to "37" click on 1033
you will see "start" written on the next table
Now just replace the Start letters with any of your choice (up to 5 characters only IMPORTANT).
compile the script & save it
rename this file as any name say explorer1.exe
copy it in your windows directory.
open registry editor navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon double click "shell" &
enter name of your new explorer(explorer1 )in this case.
restart to see changes.

IMPORTANT:DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK AS YOU MAY END UP CRASHING YOUR WINDOWS OR WINDOWS WITH ONLY WALLPAPER & NO TASKBAR & ICONS


IF THIS HAPPENS OPEN TASKMANAGER IN NEW TASK TYPE REGEDIT
& UNDO THE CHANGES U MADE BEFORE (RENAME EXPLORER1 TO EXPLORER AGAIN)
