First of all, you need a freeware called 'Resources Hacker'. This freeware is 100% legal and there is no such things as virus or malwares etc. This program utility help you to view, modify, rename, add, delete and extract resources in 32bit Windows executables and resource files (*.res). It incorporates an internal resource script compiler and decompiler and works on Win95, Win98, WinME, WinNT, Win2000 and WinXP operating systems. The part we need is just for compiling.
Ok, now to the work. To change your start button name you need to do the following:
- Go to start
- Go to (C:\WINDOWS)
- Search for explorer.exe(its shows an icon of a computer)
- Now, copy and paste to a temporary file
- Name it, your choice i.e family(the start button will apply to what this is called)
- Open Resource Hacker
- Click file then click open
- Now get the renamed explorer.exe
- Click ok

- Then 1033
- There a word start somewhere on right hand side, erase 'start' and put the renamed explorer.exe i.e blue
- Click compile file
- Then save it
- Go to regedit(Start->Run->type in regedit
- Now, go to(My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\microsoft\Windows NT\Currentversion\Winlogon)
- When clicking 'Winlogon', don't click the '+' just click on the word
- On the right hand side show some list of different file
- Search for a file called 'Shell' and click it
