Sure i will help you out with this you need to first download the software and than follow few steps.
Download
After downloading follow this steps
Change the Start text
- Locate explorer.exe in your c:\Windows directory. Make a copy of the file in the same directory and rename it explorer.bak. Run Downloaded Software and open the file %windir%\Explorer.exe.
- You see a Tree of all Resources in this file.Expand the String Table folder and then find folder No. 37 (folder No. 38 if you're in Windows Classic mode).
- Click on resource 1033 and locate the text that says Start and replace it with your own text. You don't have a character limit, but the text takes up valuable taskbar space, so don't make it too long. then press the [Compile Script] button.
- Change your text
- Open folder No. 34 and click on resource 1033.
- Find the text that says Click here to begin and change it to something of your want to display
- Click on the Compile Script button to update this resource.
- Customize your Start icon
- Collapse the String Table folder and expand the Bitmap folder at the top of your folder list.
- Click on folder No. 143 and click on resource 1033 and You will see that Windows icon.
- Go to the Action Menu and select Replace bitmap .Select Open file with new bitmap and replace it with a bitmap image of size 25 pixels by 20 pixels.
- Save the changes
- After you have made all the changes,Click on Save Explorer.exe as NewStart.exe .
- Go to File – > save as and give it a new name.
- Quit the Software.
- Replace the Explorer
- Now boot into Safe Mode With Command Prompt by pressing F8 on startup. Then choose Safe Mode in the command prompt.
- Log on as administrator and enter your password if you have any.
- When the command prompt comes up, make sure you're in the right directory by typing cd c:\windows
Type the following code
copy c:\windows\NewStart.exe c:\windows\explorer.exe
- Type Yes to overwrite the existing file, then restart your system by typing shutdown -r.
