Change Start Button name using resource hacker

Hi Friends,
This article will help you to customizing Start button text in Windows Taskbar. You can completely remove the text or change it with your name.
Simply follow these steps to change start button name:
1. Open “C:\Windows\Explorer.exe” file in Resource Hacker

2. Now go to:

String Table -> 37 -> 1033

3. Once you go to the above mentioned section, you’ll see a string “start” in right-side pane of Resource Hacker.


You just need to change it with whatever text you want to show on start button. Make sure you keep the quotes around it.
4. That’s it. Once you change the text, click on “Compile Script” button and save the file with new name.
5. Now open Run and type REGEDIT
6. Then Follow the path in the Registry Editor:

HKEY_Local_Machine–> Software –> Microsoft –> Windows NT –> CurrentVersion –> Winlogon
In the right pane, double click the Shell entry to open the Edit String dialog box. In Value data: line, enter the name that was used to save the modified explorer.exe file. Click OK.
Close Registry Editor and either log off the system and log back in, or reboot the entire system if that’s your preference. If all went as planned you should see your new Start button with the revised text.
