ok i used restorator on explorer.exe to change the start menu icon and word. the word changed just fine. the imagine inside on the left of the start menu changed just fine too.. but when i changed the 4 color flag. it just stays the same. is it stored somewhere else other than inside explorer.exe? or is there some sort of protection or check on it. please help me on this. thanks

If I were you I'd use TClock to do that, it's a lot easier and safer and you get other cool stuff like a flat taskbar.

Using Proggies such as Restorator on your shell [explorer.exe] can be fraught with danger.
