Change Windows Vista And Windows 7 Start Button

How to Change the Start Menu Button in Windows 7

Information
This will show you how to change the Start Menu button orb in Windows 7 And Vista 32-bit and 64-bit.
WARNING
REMEMBER TO BACK UP EXPLORER.EXE!


Information
The explorer.exe you want to edit is:

C:\Windows\explorer.exe

and not C:\Windows\SysWOW64\explorer.exe (for those running x64)

And for those who use the larger DPI's i.e 125% , 150% you need to change:

6806 - 66 x 198
6807 - 81 x 243
6808 - 106 x 318

1. Download Res Hacker (www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/)

2. Take ownership of the whole Windows folder (http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-rig­ht-click-menu-in-vista/)

3. Open explorer.exe with Res Hacker


4. Go to the folder called "Bitmap"

5. Replace 6801.bmp, 6805.bmp, and 6809.bmp (as seen on the video, you will need to click action on the top bar then click replace bitmap then open bitmap then find the image then hit ok and hit replace...do this for the other files)


6. Go to "file" and Save as explorer.exe in your windows folder

7. Kill the process in task manager and start it again.

Now you have a new start button!
