I have a question about Customize the Start Menu Button:

I do not have an explorer.exe file in my windows directory, or anywhere else on my system. The only explorer executables i have have a .exe extension, but also have after the exe some numbers and then they are changed to a .pf file Thanks for the help

Windows System File Protection won't let you alter explorer.exe, what you have to do is make a copy, rename it and make windows run that instead. Details here http://www.theeldergeek.com/change_text_on_xp_start_button.htm
