Customizing the Start button

[Vincent]

A few years ago I used to use Hook99 to change the Start button in XP to any image and/or text I wanted.  Since getting SP2 it hasn't worked.  The Start button still shows no matter what.

I've tried changing from the XP button to the "classic" one and both have the same problem.

Is there any other program like Hook99 that'll work under XPSP2?

I really want to change my Start button to the Umbrella Logo :-D

:lol:

Like I'd get a straight answer from them about third party software ;-)

One thing I forgot to say was that there's 2 users on this PC so I'd prefer to have a prog like Hook99 so that we can have different Start buttons.

I'm assuming that following the explorer.exe hacks would change the button for all users?

Oooohh, I didn't realise Windowblinds was that cheap

Getting the free version just now to check it out.

I'm loving the things you can do with WindowBlinds, but I think I'd need to read the manual to get anywhere good with it.

I'll almost certainly be buying it when I get some money :-)
