Hi, I use windows washer occasionally to keep my hdd clean and as empty as possible. I have only 85 gig hdd, so it full most of the time.

I followed instuctions on how to change the name of your start button, or change the text it displays on it rather than 'start'. It envolves changing the explorer exe file to something else and uses some hacker program to help do that along with regedit and so on.

Now Window Washer cannot find anything to scan, it just starts and then no sooner stops with no files washed. I tried adding the new explorer file to the custom wash list but it made no difference. I also wiped it and re installed it but it still finds no files to wash.

Any help?

Thanks in advance,

Cammy

Restore the original explorer exe file....you made a copy first right?

 

[cammy22]

Yes I did. Do I have to re route it back to the old explorer using regedit and so forth, like areverse of what i did in first place? Will I need to use resource hacker again?

Thanks

PS woud a system restore to before that point work?

 

[JimE]

Yes, System Restore should work. If not, reverse everything you did to make the changes.
