Windows Tweaking........part 1

Normal is always boring....

A normal microsoft windows start button is shown.....If you had a thought to tweak or customize ur windows wat wud u do?


Always remember that when u opearate ur PC, you should control the PC and not the vice-versa...





Now how to customize ur start button...



























Few steps to change ur "start" to any 5 letter word...

All u need is just a Hex-editor ( this is a free- ware available )



Step 1:
All u need to do is just go to your windows drive and copy ur explorer.exe.......Place it in 2 or more drive 1 for back up and the other one to be modified...change one of the name to explorer1.exe

Step 2:
Now having changed the name, open the explorer1.exe with the help of the Hex editor....
If you are using the enhanced windows ,you will get the offset value as 412b0....it also depends
on the service pack u use....

Step 3:
you hav to just change the ascii value to ur desired 5 letter word...if you dont know the ascii value just move the cursor to start click on s and change it to the alphabet which u like...you hav to change it only in this place...dont use find and replace since it replaces all ...Now u hav to save this explorer1.exe in the windows drive itself...

Step 4:
All you need to do now is change the work and close the editor...Now go to regedit using run..
and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon and find the key shell.....After u find this just right click and modify to the filename in which u hav modified and saved....

Step 5:
Now u hav to reboot ur computer to open the modified explorer....

Thus u can change ur start .....
