1) After downloading the file….open ResHacker.exe

2) B4 dat go 2 C:\WINDOWS n take d backup of explorer.exe & copy it to a different location. Just 4 safety…there’s no danger in the method

3) Now as you’ve opened ResHacker.exe…goto File –> Open
Now look for explorer.exe in the path C:\WINDOWS… click on it & open it

4) Once u open it u’ll see a list of items on d left side starting form Bitmap to 240

5) Now double click on “String Table”

6) Now if you have a “Classic look/style” for windows….double click on 38 else if you are having a “Windows XP style” click on 37

7) When you double-click on either of these. you will see a no. 1033…click on it

8) Now if you are following a Windows XP style then on d text area u will see “start” written in d manner i’ve written on line no. 578. Give d name u wnt but within d quotes. And 4 Windows Classic Style…its written on line no. 595

10) Now most important…go 2 File & click on SAVE AS button & not save

11) Save it with any name u want…in C:\WINDOWS folder. For e.g. explorerrahul.exe.
Don’t 4get 2 end the name u’ve given with d extention .exe & write the word “explorer” in front of name u’ve given. It may work if u don’t write explorer too. But i haven’t tried it

12) Now exit ResHacker.exe & goto Start –> Run….type regedit & hit enter

13) Now goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE –> SOFTWARE –> MICROSOFT –> WINDOWS NT –> Winlogon & single click on it. On d right side look 4 “Shell REG_SZ Explorer.exe”. Double click on Shell & write thename u’d given along with the extention .exe and remember, the name that u had given for the “start”button and the name with which you saved it need not be the same.
