Introduction: T-Structables: Windows XP Start Menu Hack!
In this T-Structable, I'll show you how to change the XP start button. This is the #1 easiest method there is. You don't have to restart your computer to do this! There are no complicated steps either. This is 100% idiot proof!
Step 1: Lets Begin.... ....Over All Ready?
There is a program that I personally made just for this occasion. It lets you type in a 4-6 letter word and change there start button text to what you typed!
To download this nifty little app, Click here.
Once you finished downloading it, run it. You'll see a window, shown in the picture below. As you can see, it's not very complicated. Type your text in the box, then click "Change"!
That's it!
Step 2: Easy Come, Easy Go.
Like all great things, there is a flaw. When you type more then 4, 5, or 6 letters, your letters wont all fit in the start button. The program doesn't re-size the start button to fit your text. Sorry about that guys, I can't do everything.
Thanks for viewing!
