| 67767 | 2002-08-03 07:48:00 | "Start Menu"?????? Do you mean the Start Button? - which launches the start menu? Some entries can't be set via settings in the registry but can be set via manipulating the shell. THIS IS A DANGEROUS OPERATION - KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!! Standard shell for Windows is EXPLORER.EXE. Use a hex editor to make changes to binary files. Always remember to make backups of your files before manipulating them ! One method ; - Open EXPLORER.EXE with a hex editor. - Goto hex address 02DF0E. - You'll see 53 00 74 00 61 00 72 00 74, which is S t a r t (characters separated by nulls [#00] not spaces [#20]) - Replace characters with five characters of your choice. - You can have shorter names by including spaces for remaining places. -You CANNOT make it longer, insert extra code etc or it will never run again, and may do permanent damage. I recommend you dont! |

| 67769 | 2002-08-03 08:22:00 | Winboost can do this and customise other things within Windows if your interested . Not sure if there are any free programs around that can do it . http://www . magellass . com |
