I have a question about Customize
the Start Menu Button:
this does not work on my version of Win98 *Chinese version* I looked under the "Explorer.exe"
it does not have either "Start" or the word in my language... I tried many programs,
they don't accept it... can anyone help me??

U have to open up the explorer.exe file in a hex editor.....a program that looks
at the raw bytes in a file. What word do u have on your 'start button'? is it in
chinese? You need a ascii chart to find out the codes for your letters. In english
the code sequence is.. 53 00 74 00 61 00 72 00 74 ...note that each letter is separated
by a 00 as explained at that link. Also, 53 is for capital s. If yours is a little
s use 73 instead. So your problrm is to convert what u actually have written now
on your start button to a string of ascii characters. Once u have the correct string
u should be able to find it in the explorer.exe file.

Check out TClock
which has a Chinese version. Among other things it permits customization of the Start
button.
