How to change Start Button name using resource hacker

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.

Hacking the Logon Screen using Resource Hacker

This trick is very easy to do but it needs Resource Hacker and If you don't already have Resource Hacker go download it now . I have tried this on Windows XP..

Steps

• Browse to C:\windows\system32 and copy logonui.exe and paste it to C:\ Now, open C:\logonui.exe with Resource hacker.
•  
• Click on Action and then on Replace bitmap. If you are good with graphics you can make your own logon screen, you should be able to scroll thru the bitmaps in this file and figure out what's where. If your not great with graphics :/ like myself, you can download already made graphics and use them, or use them as a template.
•  
• To set the size of Bitmap 100: Go into the \UIFILE\1000\1022\ tree and press CTRL+F Now, find Change the entire line to read: Where xxx is put the width e.g. 400rp (the rp @ the end is needed) and where yyy is, put the height e.g. 1000rp. Make sure the image doesn't go over the login names because it slows down to a snails pace (fading etc.)
• Once you have everything the way you want it, just save the file to C:\ and close Resource hacker. Now, copy the modified logonui.exe to C:\windows\system32 and replace it with original one.
