This will permanently remove or change the Start Button "Start" balloon tip.
I'm using ResHack v3.5.2 Beta for this tutorial.
GoTo C:\Windows\en-US and Take Ownership of and then copy the explorer.exe.mui to somewhere safe.
If you are running a 64 bit system you should also modify the explorer.exe.mui which is located in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\en-US
To find all the copies: Goto Start Menu and do an extended search for explorer.exe.mui. You will find several copies, Take Ownership of each and modify the line. If you have no success with saving the files you will also need to Take Ownership of the containing folder.
Now open your explorer.exe.mui(s) in ResHack and navigate to String Table 34, line 533. Modify / delete to your liking.
There is a limit of 79 characters if you modify the text.
Before:
Code:
STRINGTABLE
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
{
530, "Unable to run command.\nThe folder '%1' has been removed."
533, "Start" << Line to modify or delete
534, "&Undo %s"
535, "Cascade"
536, "Show side by side"
537, "Minimize all"
538, "Show stacked"
542, "Hide"
543, "Show hidden icons"
}
After:
Code:
STRINGTABLE
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
{
530, "Unable to run command.\nThe folder '%1' has been removed."
534, "&Undo %s"
535, "Cascade"
536, "Show side by side"
537, "Minimize all"
538, "Show stacked"
542, "Hide"
543, "Show hidden icons"
}
Once you have modified or deleted the 533 entry click the compile script button. Then in the menu bar click File and in its drop-down menu click Save. Close ResHack.
Now go to your original folder(s) again and rename your original explorer.exe.mui file(s) (explorer0ld.exe.mui ?) then copy and paste your modified explorer.exe.mui file(s) into place.
Goto Start Menu\Run and type/paste mcbuilder. Once the window closes Restart your computer. Added: 2/22/11
After a re-boot your start button balloon tip will have changed / disappeared.
