IIRC you have to hexedit a file. I forgot which.

Hi,

You have to reshack Explorer.exe. (C:\Windows\explorer)

To do this mod, you will have to download Resource Hacker, a freeware program , Here,and Replacer.REPLACER.zip

Description:

Replacer is an easy to use system file replacer

for 2K/XP. It is used to safely replace

protected or in-use system files.

Copy explorer.exe to desktop(or somewhere else) so you can work on it.

Now you will open up Resource Hacker. Go to File>Open>explorer.

Now that you are in explorer, on the left go into

String Table>37, and then click on 1003.

Select "start", and change it to whatewer you want.

**** IMPORTANT: You *MUST* KEEP THE QUOTATION MARKS AROUND WHATEVER YOU PUT IN! Otherwise it won't work.After you are done that, click compile script, and save your work.

Now go into savemode,extract Replacer.zip to a folder, run

Replacer.cmd. and replace with Replacer the original explorer with the reshacked.
