In Windows 8, there are a lot of things you can just customization to make it more beautiful. For example, in the Start Screen of Windows 8, on the top left corner, you’ll see “Start” text. To some user, this may be look justified, while some of you may want to remove/modify it, since the text is constant and doesn’t link anywhere like the Start Button in Windows 7 does.
So how can we erase it? Or modify it to display some another text than “Start“? Well, we just have a customization method to share with you all. Here it is!
Do remember to create a system restore point first!
Customize Start text of Start Screen using Resource Hacker
1. Firstly, go to
twinui.dll.mui file located at
C:\Windows\System32\en_US\twinui.dll.mui. Copy it to desktop, rename the file to
twinui.dll and open it into
Resource Hacker.
2. In the left pane, expand the String Table -> Folder 235. Now your Resource Hacker window should resemble following window:
3. In the right pane, you’ll see the line number
3751 having the data as
Start as highlighted in the above image. This text is purely displayed as the title of Start Screen as shown in first image. So in order to display nothing, just erase the text or if you want to display your own text, put it there. Click
Compile Script then.
Close the Resource Hacker and restore the original file name to
twinui.dll.mui.
4.
Now take the ownership of original file i.e. twinui.dll.mui located at
C:\Windows\System32\en_US\twinui.dll.mui. Replace the edited file from Desktop with the original one.
5. Finally, press
Windows Key + R, type
mcbuilder. Click
OK.
That’s it! You should now
reboot the machine to see the results:
