I have a question about Customize the Start Menu Button:

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to change the flag icon in the CLASSIC start menu, I'm using XP-Home SP2, when I open user.exe in MicroAngelo Libraries, the first two icons are red boxes, like a setup icon. When I open user32.dll in MicroAngelo Libraries the first two icons are program icons, but nowhere can I find the flag. Help me out?

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.
