Change start Button's image (W95)

[vivforum]

Can some one tell me , how can i change the image of Window's Start Button (I mean, the image on right side of START text) AND replace with some other image, by making modifications in Registry OR Some other file..

There was a shell tweaking utility (not TweakUI) I stumbled across a while back that let you change the text of the start button. Poking around, I realized that it was actually twiddling some bytes in the Explorer.exe file. I'd guess that the image for the start button (the little Windows flag) is probably in there, too. If so, its probably not something the casual user will want to mess with. But if you're determined, I'd start in the executable.

Did a little more digging and found that the icon for the START button is actuially stored in USER.EXE. Use your favorite icon editor to open/edit the icons in the file. There are multiple copies of the icon in different sizes to accomodate your screen resolution, so you'll either have to change them all, or through trial and error determine which one you need for your settings. As always, make sure you have a backup copy of the file before you make any changes! Since it loads on bootup, you'll probably need to reboot to see you changes.
