In XP the start button is a bitmap, as is the rest of the XP gui elements,
which is why the style's work the way they do. You can download reshacker
and change the start button that way. There are webpages that have
tutorials. A quick, simple search on google yeilded this:
http://www.overclockersclub.com/xpstartbutton.shtml
Reshacker is a great program in and of itself. The interface is a lot
friendlier than most hex-editing programs, as you don't have to sort through
pages and pages of hex to find what you're looking for. The program sets up
all of the internal associations and program structures into an
explorer-like gui that makes navigation easy. One caveat, when messing
around with Window's internal elements, back up before you do anything, and
if you aren't sure of what you're doing, leave it alone. Also, creating a
system restore point before you do anything is always a good thing to do.
