I've found an easier method to do this:
First, you need a Resource
Hacker.
Copy explorer.exe to somewhere else and open the copy with the resource hacker.
Go to "String Table", 38 and click on the number. The third entry is the on for the
Start menu, which you can modify, the text can also have more than 5 letters. Afterwards,
boot Windows in safe mode, and copy the modified explorer.exe to c:\windows and (important!)
to c:\windows\system32\dllcache.
You can test your changes: open task manager, terminate explorer.exe (right click),
go to file -> new task, and enter the path to the modified explorer.exe) You can
return to your normal explorer by choosing start (or whatelse ;-) ) -> run -> "tskill
explorer".
(I think it will work on other systems too, but I haven't tried)
