Change Text / Label of XP Start Button

Step 1 – Modify Explorer.exe File In order to make the changes, the file explorer.exe located at C:\Windows needs to be edited. Since explorer.exe is a binary file it requires a special editor. For purposes of this article I have used Resource Hacker. Which is used to view, modify, rename, add, delete and extract resources in 32bit Windows executables and resource files (*.res). To download it CLICK HERE First make a backup copy of the file explorer.exe located at C:\Windows\explorer. Place it in a folder somewhere on your hard drive where it will be safe. Start Resource Hacker and open explorer.exe located at C:\Windows\explorer.exe. Now navigate to the String Table. Now click on 37 and then on 1033 as shown in the figure.


Instead of “start” just write the word you want to replace with start. Like “Aanchal”.

Now click to compile script button and then save the altered file bye any name you wish like explorerchanged.exe using the Save As command on the File Menu. Do not use the Save command .

Step 2 – Modify the Registry

Go to start , navigate to Run and type regedit in the Open: field. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows NT\ CurrentVersion\ Winlogon In the right pane , double click the Shell entry to open the Edit String dialog box as shown in Fig. 06. In Value data: line, enter the name that was used to save the modified explorer.exe file. Click OK. then reboot and u see the changes in ur taskbar.

ASUS Previews Bamboo-Ecobook is Ecofriendly

This afternoon I headed over to the launch of the ASUS Eco Book, “the first functional notebook made out of bamboo.” It’s not made entirely out of bamboo–rather, parts of it are: The lid and the part where you rest your palms are made out of pressed, recycled bamboo, while the keys are made of recycled plastic.

It’s a cute little notebook, and the wood lid looks nice; ASUS is embossed into it with a slightly firebranded look. Unfortunately, it’s not set to come out until sometime next year. As they explained to me at the preview, “Unlike metal or plastic, wood actually burns”–so, as you might imagine, they’re planning on testing the use of wood in a potentially hot laptop pretty carefully. Similarly, wood can warp and break–making bamboo a good choice, as it’s exceptionally fibrous. Still, time spent in pre-production for the Eco Book seems like time well spent.

ASUS is also planning on meeting “at least 50%” of environmentally-friendly standards, so expect the Eco Book to be Energy-Star certified.

ASUS both designs and manufactures its own laptops; as a result, they can really do what they want with the look. (This is the same company that released a Lamborghini-designed laptop). So why don’t they make all of their laptops from recycled plastics? Apparently, certain models–especially for gaming–are prone to get very hot. Recycled plastics can’t be altered to deal with heat as well as fresh, made-to-order plastics.

Do a few wooden lids on laptops make a difference? It’s a start, and recycled bamboo seems like a responsible choice of wood.

ASUS features this “ASUS Green” page on its website–with news items dating all the way back to 2005. Impressive.
