Use a resource editor to edit explorer.exe for the banner. It's #157 in the bitmap section

The start button text is in the string table, #37.

This is what you mean?

Can you explain how to enter the nulls in EDIT v2.0.026 searchbox? In binary mode it appears you can search for all byte values except nulls and a few others like 9 (tab) and 13 (Enter). I've been using it for a long time and still haven't figured it out (I know ctrl+shift+2 can enter a null into the file, but I can't search for them).

You can use StartBTN Renamer.

Good question.
I've scratched my head 1 too many times trying to figure out how to do this, but no luck. :(

Anybody who knows how to type a null character in the EDIT.COM search box, please post here.
Much appreciated.

I've figured it out. It just can't be done. You can enter 9 and 13 (tab and enter) in the searchbox by highlighting a 9 or 13 already in your file and then doing the search just like you can highlight any other string and then search -> find or search -> replace will set that string into the Find box, but when you highlight a null nothing will appear in the searchbox. If you highlight a string *with* a null inside it and then try search, it'll truncate the string right before the null, because in the searchbox the null character is used to delimit the end of the search string!

EDIT v2.0.026 was much better than the one supplied with original MS-DOS v6.22, but it still looks like it needs a few improvements :yes:

explorer.exe #158 - 167

Various ones to choose from:

158: "Codename Whistler Server"
162: "Windows Terminal Server"
163: "Codename Whistler Advanced Server"
164: "Codename Whistler Datacenter Server"
165: "Windows XP Embedded" (...into Windows 98 :lol:)
166: "Windows XP Home Edition"
167: "Windows XP Professional"
176 is the XP logo, if you want that too...

Delete the ShellIconCache in %WINDIR% and restart immediately.
