As referred above, I know there is many ways to change the window XP start menu.

May I know what is the easiest way to change it please? I am currently using window blind. What I want to change is not the entire start menu, is the text " Start " to some other word that I want.

Thank you in advance for those who help.

Hmm, appearantly all the three link will require me to use a third party program. Sorry that I didn't mention it earlier, what I mean by the easiest way to do it is something like changing the value or whatever is some places like the Registry Editor.

And the idea was just to change the text, not the whole bitmap image. Like I said before I'm using WindowBlind.

Hehe forgot to ask. I know there is a lot of ways to do it, well I did mention this above but I'm trying to find the easiest way.

I don't understand " this one is great but with some risk ". With some risk means?

And oh ya, thanks for all the help man, thank you.

if you're using windowblinds.
just check your theme directory.
usually C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop\WindowBlinds\<your theme name>
from there look for startbutton image and edit it to your liking.
and afaik you can't change it using registry editor if you're using wb because wb using images to override windows theme. correct me if im wrong.

Now I know. Thank you very much ijat84. I found it but I don't think I'll change it now. The reason is I've got a animated Start button included in my WindowBlinds which mean if I did a changes to one of them I need to repeat the same step for more than ten times.

Yes I don't think by changing the registry editor will work as I'm using WindowBlinds. Sorry for my mistake earlier.

If Start Button is all that you wanna change, use TClock. It's created by a Japanese programmer but I don't remember the website. Try googling for it..

Thanks for the suggestion ayob99 but I don't think it'll work either simply because my WindowBlinds actually overwrite my default window.

Guess the only way is to modify WindowBlinds file.

i tried do some editing with explorer.exe, my whole windows fails to load and force to do recovery

yeap... use Tclock is the easier way... i've been using it quite long ago..

But still WindowBlinds will overwrite everything right?

i'm not using WindowBlinds... so i've no idea about the overwrite thingy...

but for visual style i have no problem for that

Search windowsblind for Radiate Really cool

WindowsBlinds has its own visual style format and sends skins through wblind.dll instead of uxtheme.dll. So, it won't overwrite everything.

What's that dude? Description?

But the Start button is in the overwrite category right? Correct me if I am wrong.
