to modify your shell try somthing called lightstep...or if you want somting that does it easly try somthing like Windowsblinds, or DesktopX....

I can't stand windowblinds .. I just wanna edit my start button to say something other than start...

There are a couple of programs that'll do that. Run a search on Google for something like that.

download a proggy called Resource Hacker, make a copy of your .exe file, open it with RH and change it, then compile it. Then boot in DOS and overwrite the original....simple

that is what TechTV said when I first tried this... one problem 2K PRO does not boot to dos - DOS is not there as an option.

sorry...translation coming

boot to DOS = boot to safe mode w/ command prompt (F8 on start-up)
