First you need a tool called "Resource Hacker".
It is here (http://hotfile.com/dl/27101136/a77bf9c/ResHacker.zip.html)......
This free program allows you to change resources in any ".exe" file such as "Explorer.exe", which includes the [Start] button's Label.
After you download it, follow the guide here:
Step 1:
A - Run "Resource Hacker" and open the file "%windir%\Explorer.exe".
B - You see a Tree of all Resources in this file, expand the "String Table"
C - Go to the key, "String Table\37\1033"
D - Find the "start" and replace it with your own text. then press the [Compile Script] button.
E - Save "Explorer.exe" as "MyStart.exe" DONT save it as Explorer.exe, do "save as.." and give it a new name.
F - Quit "Resource Hacker".
Step 2:
A - Click on the Start button and choose the "Run..." item from the start menu.
B - Type "Regedit" in the Run "Dialog Box". And then click OK button to run the "Registry Editor" program.
C - Go to: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Cu rrentVersion\Winlogon" and find the "Shell" property.
D - Replace value of the "Shell" property from "explorer.exe" to "MyStart.exe".
E - Quit "Registry Editor".
F - Restart your system.
Note :-
if you could not find the key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Cu rrentVersion\Winlogon",
you can search the Registry for the "Explorer.exe", to do this use the Edit Menu | Find Next (Ctrl+F).
