Start Button

No problem - if you have a hex editor, know how to use it, and know the
data structure. But it's probably easier to go on the web and search for
a program that will do it for you.

I'd be sure to backup my system partition before playing with the Start
menu.

"...alas I'm the sort that likes to learn."

Excellent. In that case a web search would be very helpful for you.

I think resource hacker is the easiest application to use for this, there are
even plenty of sites devoted to using this to change the name in well under
10 steps.

Apparently there may be issuses in the length of the name space, using more
than 5 characters may produce unwanted results. Luckily my (real) name is
only 5 characters and have not tested this.
