1. Copy EXPLORER.EXE in your Windows directory to another directory
2. Start a hex editor such as Diskedit from Norton
3. Edit EXPLORER.EXE
4. Search for the string 53 00 74 00 61 00 72 00 74
5. This is the word Start with the letters separated by a null character
6. The section you are in should also have the words 'There was an internal error...' also separated with the null character immediately following
7. Now just replace the Start letters with any of your choice (up to 5 characters only)
8. Exit Windows
9. Boot to DOS
10. Copy your new Explorer file over the original but make sure you have a backup just in case!

If you don't fancy doing this you could try installing x-setup (on the March PC World Plus! or can be downloaded from http://xteq.com). I am not certain but I think you may be able to do it with this program.
