The M$ flag in the start button sits in explorer.exe.
You can change (or remove) it with a program like Resource
Hacker.
Edit the startbutton text, logo, and hover-text:
- open explorer.exe with Resource Hacker
- change the text ('start'): edit String Table/37/1033/line 578 (click 'yes' when
asked to recompile)
(don't leave this blank, enter a space if you want a text-less startbutton)
- change the hover text ('Click here to begin'): edit String Table/34/1033/line 533
- change the icon (windows logo): edit Bitmap/143/1033, click action/replace bitmap,
'open file with new bitmap'
(must be a 25x20 pixels bitmap, 16 million colors, .bmp extension) or just remove
the bitmap for a small startbutton
- save the modified explorer.exe (use a different name)
I like to keep things clean and uncluttered:
You can download a copy of my customized explorer.exe here.
