i can change it fine when im using the default windows xp vs, but is it possible to change it while using a custom visual style? im using one called Beacon that i loaded with stylexp. since it is a custom style im thinking that you may not be able to change it by editing windows files...anyone know?
 
I've got a little program that will change the standard start button name. Once you add a style it no longer works. Must be something to do with them not being compatible with each other. Looks like you either have the renamed button or the style not both. :(
 
I'm glad someone brought this subject up. Want to ask if there is any way of renaming the start button without any third-party software. =)
 
Ruiner, no offense, but EEEEEWWWW!!!! StyleXP...... bleah. did you ever try using the uxtheme patch that allows windows to use custom themes?
 
no, but stylexp has worked fine for me...i'll try yours if you think i will be able to rename the start button with it
 
don't know if you would be able to change the start button name, but it will probably save u loads of resources and more than likely loads of time in the long run.
 
As mentioned, once you apply a style you cannot change the start button successfully, even with the patch.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
