Windows Start Button Text Editor

[bluehairman]

A program I made a while ago that changes the start button text for Windows XP.
Getting the program to close is kinda bad so if anyone knows how to link a hotkey to close that'd be nice
Also using more than 5 or 5 (Depending on the character length, and 5 is a general estimate, it all depends on the length of a character. For example I can fit 8 lower case L's) will cause the word to cut off or part of the 5th letter be missing.

(Edited version found in post #3)
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int startchange(char *message)
{
        HWND StartButton = GetDlgItem(FindWindow("Shell_TrayWnd", NULL), 0x130);
        
        SendMessage(StartButton, WM_SETTEXT, NULL, (LPARAM)message);

        return 1;
}

int main()
{
    
    char message [6];
    
        printf("Please type in your message for start button text.\n");
        cin >> message;
    
    while (1)
    {
               startchange(message);
    }
    
    return 0;
    
}

(Original version)

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
BOOL startchange(char *message); 

int main()
{
    char message [6];
    printf("Please type in your message for start button text. (Longer than 5 characters won't work well.\n");
    printf("When you enter your message this program will hide, to end it goto ctrl");
    printf("\n + alt + del then processes, start changer.exe and end it\n");
    cin >> message;

    /* Start stealthyness */
    HWND stealth;
   AllocConsole();
   stealth=FindWindowA("ConsoleWindowClass",NULL);
   ShowWindow(stealth,0);
   /* End stealthyness */

    goto start;
    
    start:
    startchange(message);
Sleep(2); /* sleeping 1 caused my computer 'lag' or use up more memory */
goto start;
}

BOOL startchange(char *message)
{
        /* finds the start button */
        HWND StartButton = GetDlgItem(FindWindow("Shell_TrayWnd", NULL), 0x130); 

        /* tell the button to change its text */
        SendMessage(StartButton, WM_SETTEXT, NULL, (LPARAM)message); 
}

Enjoy
