PSA: Learn from my Stupidity!
ok, yall prepare to have a laugh. Yesterday I was bored and I got inspired to change the text on my start button. You know the easy reg hack ( or so I thought) So, I went to a reputiable site and followed the directions on how to do it down to a T. Now at this point I was feeling like a bada** I restarted my pc like it said to do and once it booted up my bada** feeling plummetted like a rock, I had NOTHING on my screen! not a damn thing! so naturally I was like oh shite! trying desperatly to figure out what I did wrong. Then to make matters worse my USB keyboard and mouse stopped dead. So I restarted again and it gave me 20 seconds to make a decsion on what to boot into ( safe mode, regular etc) so I raced like a madman to my roomates room and grabbed his keyboard. This was like something out of Swordfish ( the movie) and I got it at 1 second lol so now at least I had a keyboard I got my mouse working again and go into task manager. Managed to get back into my Registry and correct my mistake. Guess what I did?! I accidently deleted Explorer.exe and put TheTexan.exe ( what I wanted to change my start button text too) lol bad news! moral of the story: dont play with the registry and DONT delete explorer.exe ( you supposed to put the text you want between explorer and .exe. anyway long story short everything works now but it was F'ed for a while lol.
