Rename your Start Menu button

You can use the method described above if you want: In the US version of Windows XP Pro, the string is at 0EE36F (Classic-style button) and 0EE096 (XP-style button). But instead, we are going to use Resource Hacker.

2.1. Bypassing Windows File Protection

1. In Windows Explorer, click Tools, Folder Options, then View. Uncheck Hide protected operating system files and check Show hidden files and folders.

2. There is a file named filelist.xml in \windows\system32\Restore. Right click the file, then click Properties, and uncheck Read-only. Open filelist.xml in Notepad, and add the line shown in red below, then save the file and close Notepad.

<exclude>
     <rec>%systemroot%\explorer.exe</rec>
     <rec>%windir%\system.ini</rec>
     <rec>%windir%\tasks\desktop.ini</rec>
     <rec>%windir%\win.ini</rec>
     <rec>*:\AUTOEXEC.BAT</rec>
     <rec>*:\CONFIG.MSI</rec>
     <rec>*:\CONFIG.SYS</rec>
</exclude>

3. In \windows\system32\dllcache, you will find a backup copy of explorer.exe. Rename it to explorer.bak.

2.2. Changing the name of the Start Menu button

1. Run Resource Hacker, and open \windows\explorer.exe

2. Click String Table > 37 > 1033 (XP-style button)

3. Replace "start" with whatever you want ("hello", in the picture above)

4. Click the Compile Script button.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 for String table > 38 > 1033 (Classic-style button)

5. Save the file (File>Save). Hit Cancel then Yes when Windows File Protection pops up. 

Note: If an error message pops up when saving the file, kill explorer.exe (Clt-Alt-Del > Processes > explorer.exe > End Process > File > New Task), repeat step 5 (save the file in Resource Hacker), and restart explorer.exe (Clt-Alt-Del > Processes > explorer.exe > End Process > File > New Task > explorer > OK).
