So what did you do? Or are you not going to tell us?
open up explorer.exe with restorator and change the text in string 37. Add explorer.exe to the unprotected files list in the C:\WINDOWS\system32\Restore\filelist.xml
then kill explorer in the taskmanger and overwrite it with the new one. start explorer again and there you go.

Is possible for win2k ? The same way ???
Thanks !
Thanks !
i would imagine it is but i have never tried it with win2k so i don't know.
All versions of Windows have the text for the start menu stored in 'explorer.exe', so yep. It'll work for 2K too.
For some reason i'm not getting it to work .. i added explorer.exe to that file, this is how the start of it looks like:
<PCHealthProtect>
<VERSION>1.0</VERSION>
<DEFTYPE>E</DEFTYPE>
<FILES>
<Exclude>
<REC>%windir%\explorer.exe</REC>
<REC>%windir%\system.ini</REC>
<REC>%windir%\tasks\desktop.ini</REC>
<REC>%windir%\win.ini</REC>
<REC>*:\AUTOEXEC.BAT</REC>
<REC>*:\CONFIG.MSI</REC>
<REC>*:\CONFIG.SYS</REC>
</Exclude>
<Include>
<REC>c:\placeholder\ph.dll</REC>
</Include>
</FILES>
I open explorer.exe and edit it, then save it as explorer1.exe and kill explorer in taskmanager, then i rename the old explorer.exe and rename explorer1.exe to explorer.exe .. but it's still protected because windows always replaces it right away ..
Any ideas?
