To rename the start button, you will need a hex editor. My preference is UltraEdit. Simply follow the steps given below to rename your Windows Start button.

1. Copy the \windows\explore.exe file to a new name (e.g. explorer_1.exe).
2. With the hex editor, open that file and go to offset 412b6. You will see the word "Start" with blanks between each letter.
3. Edit it be any 5 characters or less.
4. Save the file
5. Boot to DOS http://www.friendfinder.com/go/g884165

6. Copy the existing c:\windows\explorer.exe to explorer.org
7. Rename explorer_1.exe to explorer.exe. You will also need to replace the explorer.exe in the c:\windows\system32\dllcache file as well with the new one. Note: If the partition is NTFS and you can't access the files from DOS
8. Rename explorer.org to explorer_1.exe. http://www.friendfinder.com/go/g884165
