How to hack / change your start button in Windows XP Professional

Hacking the Start button This works on XP Pro Build 2600 (The final verison), and it should work on all other versions as well. ALWAYS BACKUP EVERYTHING YOU EDIT OR DELETE. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU MESS YOUR COMPUTER UP BY DOING THIS HACK. DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. First off, you need to download a program called  Resource Hacker . It's kinda like a hex editor, it allows you to change bitmaps, text, ect. in program files. Windows XP has a feature called Windows File Protection. This feature stops you from changing important system files, that could leave your operating system, non-fuctional. The file that we need to edit, Explorer.exe, is protected by Windows File Protection. What we need to do, is make Explorer.exe  not  part of Windows File Protection.

The other way is to totally disab

Creating an Autorun.inf file

An  Autorun.inf file  is what enables the automatic running of CD files on your computer. On the insertion of a CD/DVD into the drive, this application allows the files to run without manual prompting, provided they are in synchronization with the system configuration. This system of file Autorun has been revolutionised and popularised by Windows and it saves a lot of time and effort for the user. On a related note, both the Icon Text and the Icon Menu can be suitably customized under this command, as in the Windows system. Thus the Autorun.inf is largely a rudimentary instruction file operating at the core of the CD directory.  Creating an Autorun file Allowing autorun Creating an Autorun.inf file Variations Customizing the icon Customizing the icon text Customizing the icon menu See also:  Autorun.inf This document explains how to form an autorun inf file.

IDM is the best Internet download manager available on internet but its not free and its cracked or patched versions contains viruses. Using this hack you can register the  Internet Download Manager (IDM)  for free using you own credentials i.e register on your Name and email ID. I am explaining the manual  hacking  method because most of my users said that patch and keygen contain viruses. Now suppose you have updated your IDM ( Internet Download Manager ) and if you are using cracked or patched version, after updating IDM, it shows an error message that you have registered IDM using  fake serial key . And after that IDM exits and hence it doesn't download anything. This hack also works for  trail IDM  that means download a trail IDM from there site and regis

Clear Recent Commands From the Run Dialog in Windows XP Has it ever bothered you that there isn’t an obvious way to remove the previous items in the Run box in Windows? It’s often very useful, of course… but if you are just a little bit paranoid you might want to clean out that list on occasion. Of course there are many cleaner applications that will do this for you, but we’ll explain how to do it manually. Clear Recent Run Dialog Entries Through Regedit Open up regedit.exe through the start menu run box, and then navigate down to the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RunMRU You’ll see all your recent commands on the right, and you can delete any of the keys that contain your commands. You’ll have to logoff and then back on, but the list should be clean. Note that this will also work for Windows Vista’s Run dialog, although most people have switched to using the search box instead.
