Customizing the Start Button in WinME

I know how to customize the Start button in Windows 95 and 98 to change the word "Start" to a 5-letter string or less, but does anyone know how to do the same thing in Windows Me? I tried doing it the same way as it's done with 95 or 98, but the character string is not present in explorer.exe

Look again, it's there; there are multiple "S T A R T" strings in the WinME explorer.exe. Maybe you typed spaces in between each character's hex and the null character hex in your FIND-REPLACE dialog the way annoyances.com had it in their instructions ("53 00 74 00 61 00 72 00 74"); try again with "530074006100720074". I replaced all occurances of the string and it worked the first time for me in WinME . Chase
