If you can’t find those, try Hook99, a small freeware program that will change the text and icon on the start button. Just configure it and throw it in your startup folder;

Hi,
Some third-party softwares can do this however you can also do it by yourself.
1. Restart computer, press F8 and select boot as “command prompt only”.
2. From prompt, run debug.exe with parameter is Win.com. (debug win.com). Notes that fullpath is required.
Search for “Start” (s “Start”), when you find it, replace it with what you want with (e address_of_”start” new_value)Good luck,
Duong beo
P/S: Before making any changes, be sure you have a backup of file Win.com.-

Searh your .ICO file for the start button icon and open it in either Paint or any other paint program and there you can alter the look of it then just save it.

If this guy is really your friend, then I would think that he would tell you how he did it.I do know that the secret lies in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/CLSID part of the Registry. I have successfully renamed the Recycle Bin and also My Computer. Your post made me do a so far unseccessful search for an answer to your question. I read a few years ago an article that told how to do it, but be forwarned that you can use no more than 5 letters (s-t-a-r-t). CLSID numbers are the ticket. Happy Hunting

Goto Start – Settings – Contro lPanel
Select Display – click on the Appearance Tab
You can change the looks of your desktop and you can change the looks of your fonts as well.
Just click on a text and you will see till you see the Font box light up then you can change to a different type of font and size.Alvin

The simplest way is to download this small freeware package:
http://homepage1.nifty.com/kazubon/tclock/indexe.html
Besides renaming your START button, it will also change the clock in your right hand corner to a sensible date/time format of your choice.
