For starters, this only works on XP, I don't use Vista so I have no clue how to do it.

Anyway, first you need to go to C:\Windows and make a copy of your explorer.exe in a different place, preferably on your desktop for easy access.

Next, you'll want to open up your copied explorer.exe with a hex editor(google one, nigger!)

Expand the "String Table". Now if you're using the default(blue) Windows theme, you'll want to expand 37, and if you're using the classic theme like I do, you'll want to expand 38, then click the 1033(if you're using a theme program, in most cases Windows considers that the classic theme, though I can't guarantee it will work with all themes at all.) In the pane on your hex editor you should see "start" in quotes, it should be pretty obvious what to do from here. Change start to whatever you want, but make sure you leave the quotes around it.

Compile it, and save your modified exe with a different name than explorer.exe, I named mine justin.exe, and save it in your C:\WINDOWS folder.

Next, open up regedit, expand hkey_local_machine, then software, Microsoft, Windows_NT, CurrentVersion, Winlogon. In the right side of the window, open up Shell, change the ValueData to justin.exe (or whatever the name of your modified exe was.)

Now just log off, and if you did it right when you log back in your start button should say whatever you set it to like the picture below(and if you did it wrong, you probably won't be logging on at all Very Happy )



If you don't have basic computing skills and aren't comfortable editing your registry, I wouldn't recommend trying this. I take no responsibility if you fuck anything up.

explorer.exe is the UI of your computer, everything you see if made by explroer.exe.

Lets check this theory...

CTRL-ALT-DEL -> Kill explorer.exe

What do you know, not only is my background still there, but the rest of my applications still have a UI, could this be because the UI is controled not by explorer.exe but by win32k.sys? Who knows.

don't be a smartass, the background stays.

other applications UI are not controled by explorer.exe, only the windows.

Wow, I take the time out of my busy life to write a TUT when I should have been working on other things, and some self-righteous noob has the audacity to come in and de-rep me because he doesn't like my vocabulary. I'm not writing any more TUT's for you guys.

To smartone, step back, learn that this is CEF and we use the word nigger, and if you can't handle it, go whine somewhere else. The review feature is there to review what I wrote, not so you can come impose your narrow mindedness on us.

I'm just saying you shouldn't be racist. And yes I know this is CEF, I've been here longer than you, and most people here does not support racism. Yes, I'm sure you took a whole two minutes to look at a site with the original tut and rewrite that tut in your own words.

1. I'm not racist. The word "nigger" is not inherently a racist word. It means the lowest form of life, it is not synonymous with "black person", and by assuming I meant a correlation between nigger and "black people" you are only further degrading blacks yourself. Educate yourself before you patronize others. Furthermore, this is still CEF and you should learn most people here are sarcastic, especially myself. If you happen to not like the word, that's your choice, but you could just have easily ignored it or even questioned me on it before taking the offensive.

2. You haven't been here longer than me, if you looked at my sig you would see I am an old member returned, my original account joined around the same time as you.

3. Originial tutorial? Sorry, I wrote it off the top of my head. I've been a computer technician for 8 years now, stuff like this is child's play for me. Now you'll go ahead and be all no you didn't omfg plagiarism lulz! Go ahead and spare us that, if you're going to be so ungrateful please just leave my topic.

spending time to make your tutorial has nothing to do with why you were derepped, you were derepped for using the 'n' word for no reason at an attempt to be funny.

Tough shit, this world is getting filled with far too many pussies offended with every little thing. Don't like it? Then don't read it. It wasn't intended to be funny or offensive, it's just a word I use commonly, and if you don't like it, too bad because I don't change for anyone.

I still took my time to give something to the forum and instead just get discredited for it. It absolutely blows my mind that people can be that ungrateful. I had a lot of tutorials I planned on writing when I had some free time, no way in hell I'm going to now just so some self righteous prick can throw a fit over my terminology.

Like I've said before, there's lots of people offended over the word nigger, but they'll be damned if they can even cite a legitimate reason why they're offended.

Furthermore, even if I was racist, that gives him no right to criticize me for my ideals, any more than I should de-rep someone for being a Christian.

Well, the problem isn't me, the problem is with people being offended over things they have no understanding of. To clear it up, maybe this phrase isn't common from where you're from, but the term tough shit isn't like a label, it's used like "oh well, tough shit, get over it" if that made any sense Razz

Now back on topic, AFAIK only certain things like the taskbar, start menu, and desktop icons are handled by explorer.exe, the rest are by win2k.sys, or at least that's the way I understood it. Explorer.exe is the "shell"

Lulz. Thanks Cheetah, the more you know.

Also, you niggers should learn how to tell the defenition of a word by context. It doesn't mean the same thing in all situations.

For everyone who took the word nigger literally in his post, do one of the following:

1.GB2/SCHOOL/
-or-
1. Buy an iPod.
2. Lose the iPod.
3. Mitchell Henderson.
