Wipe your forehead, that wasn’t half as hard as you thought it would be, was it?
You’re start button should now look something like the one above. If it does, you’ve done it correctly. If it doesn’t, you can open Resource Hacker and try again.
If something goes wrong, you can replace the damaged Explorer.exe file with the backup that you created when we began. You’ll need to make sure the file isn’t in use before trying to replace it.
What? You didn’t take the time to create a backup?
In case of emergency, if you didn’t create a backup, you can replace Explorer.exe by expanding it from your original Windows CD or the Restore disc provided by your PC manufacturer.
Well, if that wasn’t enough for you, be sure to stick around for the final part in this series when I show you step-by-step how to change the start button background without having to use unnecessary third-party apps or installing any new themes or theme managers.
You won’t want to miss it. Until next time…
