Well there is a way, I've seen it done on SPJ "smartphonejunkie.com." Dash has his changed to "DASH" instead of "START." However, I do not know exactly how it can be accomplished. If I'm correct, I believe he had some help with that as well. So hopefully the answer will arise in this thread because I along with many others would love to play with that as well.

Did you unsign it first?

Re: Change Start Menu Text To something else?
 

yes i used UnSigner.exe then opened it up...but in the instructions it says go to "string value 321" all i can find is "icon" and then go to 321 and it shows the windows flag?

It is actually in file shellres.dll.0409.mui not shellress.192.dll.0409.mui like you quoted. I know it is similar in name and don't worry I made that mistake the first time also.

Best of luck!
