    Hello all.

    I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to change the windows 7 start button icon. I want to change it from the windows xp logo to a win98 windows logo.

    I don't use the Windows 7 Aero theme. I use the Windows classic theme, and I would like to change icon on the start menu to the Windows 98 style windows logo rather than the Windows XP logo. Here is a picture for reference.



    The little windows XP log I want to go...

    Thank you,

    Jason

    Welcome to the Seven Forums Jason
    It is in the ShellBrd.dll Bitmap #1041 in C:\Windows\Branding\ShellBrd folder
    Thanks to gsw953 @ VistaStyleBuilders forum for this.
