Change Start Button Text

I always wanted to change the text of my Start Button ever since I have been using the Windows operating System.Create a system restore point just incase if something goes wrong you can roll back to the original settings. Make a back up copy of explorer.exe in a safe place, maybe in a different folder.
Open Resource Hacker utility. Click on File ---> Open. Type "explorer.exe" in the text box.
Expand String Table ---> 37 from the tree view and click on 1033 as shown in the figure below

From the right window next to where start is written in front of 578 edit the text to what you want on your start button. For example I edited it to SreejithThampyR as shown in the figure below:


Click on the "Compile Script" button on top of the right window. Now click on File ---> Save as ----> wintipz.exe as shown in Figure Below
Open registry editor by clicking on Start ---> Run and typing "regedit" at the text box. Navigate to HKEY_Local_Machine -> Software -> Microsoft -> Windows NT -> CurrentVersion -> Winlogon


Restart your computer to see the changes.
