Huh? Can't you do that just by changing your name in Control Panel?
-edit-
Ohhhh...I see what you mean now, why does Microsoft have to be so difficult?

That's Great to listen But Not so to do. When I rebooted after doing all stuff, Windows Xp Didn't ever booted to my desktop with the "changed
Start menu". I had to do a repair on my WinXp and Now everything is fine. Will never try this sort of stuff dude !!!! Anyway waiting for your next "Useful Tip."

One more tip,
don't reboot your Windows XP just log off and then log back on

lol this happened to me, thankfully I just went into exploerer and delete the file I created. I wont be trying that again

I don't know the problem because i did it and it worked....

I posted this along with a full alternate method in this thread: http://wRww.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread32495.html

but as far as everybody's problems: if you attempt to re-compile your original explorer.exe, you run the risk of messing everything up. the best thing to do, is when you open explorer.exe in your editor program, save it immediatly under a different name.

make absolutely sure that this file is stored in the windows directory, and also be sure that you type the correct filename when you edit the registry. either of these things will result in the file not being found. not having explorer.exe will usually be a 'BAD' thing.

hope this helps your problems guys.
