and not C:\Windows\SysWOW64\explorer.exe (for those running x64)
And for those who use the larger DPI's i.e 125% , 150% you need to change:
6806 - 66 x 198
6807 - 81 x 243
6808 - 106 x 318
NOTE: The start orb replacement always HAS to look like this:
1 orb: Orb when not in use (when not clicked or mouseover'ed)
2 orb: mouseover
3 orb: When start orb is clicked
5. Replace 6801.bmp, 6805.bmp, and 6809.bmp (as seen on the picture, you will need to right click and click assign, and then click assign to, then select your file.)
6. Go to "file" and Save as explorer.exe on your desktop
7. Go to the windows folder and rename explorer.exe to explorer.exe.bak and then copy-paste the new explorer, Kill the process in task manager and start it again.

if i only need 6805.bmp then why do you say replace 6801 and 6809 in the tutorial? the tutorial mentions nothing about large or small icons, nor location of taskbar.
it is obvious that you know what you are doing, but when you write a tutorial, you have to assume idiots like me are going to read it, so you have to explain more.
i misunderstood and thought that we had to make three buttons, one for its normal state, one for mouse rollover, and another for when it is clicked. i was wrong...

That is for the small button, you need to replace the others...But you should do it anyway.
The picture of the button should be like this:
First Orb: The start orb itself
Second Orb: start while mouseover
Third Orb: Start orb when clicked
edit: this a png, it will need to be a BMP file, with a black background.
