Customize Start Menu Text..

Well the simplest and the least time consuming way of changing the Start button text is described below:

Step 1:

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.
Step 2:
You would need to download a small freeware utility called Resource Hacker. "Resource Hacker^TM is a freeware utility to view, modify, rename, add, delete and extract resources in 32bit Windows executables and resource files (*.res). It incorporates an internal resource script compiler and decompiler and works on Win95, Win98, WinME, WinNT, Win2000 and WinXP operating systems." excerpt from Resource Hacker's Website

Expand String Table --->  37 from the tree view and click on 1033 as shown in the figure below

Step 6:
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:

Step 7:
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
From the right pane double click on shell and replace "explorer.exe" with "wintipz.exe" as shown in figure below and then exit registry editor:

Step 8:
double click the Shell entry to open the Edit String dialog box as shown in Fig. In Value data line, enter the name that was used to save the modified explorer.exe file (In my case its brainwash69.exe). Click OK.
