okay so i have changed my start orb, got the images for my backgrounds, and tweeked the glass settings to my liking. There is just one more thing i want to customize. How do i change the text that appears when i mouse over the start orb?
any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've seen ways to change the text on the actual start button (this was when I had XP ), but I don't know of any way to change the popup "Start".
You could just use Start Killer to remove the Start/Orb button from the taskbar, and use the Windows key on your keyboard to access the menu.
I can't test it because I'm on a work computer and dont have privilages but try looking here...
Open resource hacker and browse to "C:\Windows\en-US\explorer.exe.mui"
In the tree goto /String Table/34/1033
*Line 533, "Start"
Edit this to what you want it to be and hit "Compile Script"....
Back to the tree goto /String Table/38/1033
Line 595, "Start"
Edit this line also and hit "Compile Script"...
Save the file, backup and replace the existing and restart.
Again like I said, I'm on a work computer and cannot test but this is more than likely where its located. Not sure which one controls the tooltip though.
