PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE COMMENTARY BEFORE CONTINUING! ALSO, PLEASE VOTE!

All errors and bugs (known bugs) have been fixed, and the whole thing is now completely interactive.

REMEMBER! THIS HACK HAS ONLY BEEN TESTED ON WINDOWS XP'S MODERN THEME! THIS WILL <I>NOT</I> WORK WITH CLASSIC MODE! ATTEMPT ON OTHER VERSIONS OF WINDOWS AT YOUR OWN RISK!

People have requested it, so, I came through! this is the interactive version of my Windows Start Menu hack, to change the word in the start menu to what you want, instead of boring "start". Its the joys of hacking, without compromising your system! Please submit this to the Windows collection! Much appreciated! Oh, Audio will be added later, Flash 8 was being an ass and didn't allow me to import audio files... I am working on it! I am also aware of some bugs, that I will work out later, if you find something though, please tell me in a review! Thanks!

Disclaimer!!: This hack requires you to change a file that comes with your computer and is a CRITICAL component for the proper operation of your computer! Please attempt at your own risk, I do not offer any warranty of any kind. If you are secure in your abilities to hack a CRITICAL component of your computer, please try this, its neat! It adds some extra personality to your computer!

Thanks, but if you already knew how to do it, why did you play it?

"Didn't change start"

Not going to rate down because it didn't work on my computer
Running Windows XP Service Pack 3 on Normal theme and it stills shows up as start.

Meh.

Nice tutorial though :D

Author's Response:

Yeah, as I've been explaining for the past couple of years now, this method doesn't always work like it used to because of Windows File Protection protecting the EXE.

Yea', I saw the original before this, and I think this one helps slow it down a bit so that you can see everything step-by-step which is helpful for some.

That's why I made it, people started requesting that. It's more NewGroundsish anyway, as it's user-interactive.
