changing the start button letters

i know there is a way to do it, and i have been trying to find it again, but i cant, could anyone tell me what i have to do to change my start button letters, permanently.

I want to change it from start to Supra. one of my favourite cars
after the Ferrari 360 Spyda of course, which is where i got my nick from

Its not with a program or something, i had that earlier and it just puts an image over the top of the start button which you then have to shut the program down to access the start menu.
Im sure there is a permanent way to do it in the registry.

Cheers

use the program, its a lot more fun. You have no restrictions on the # of letters or characters, and you can change all windows bitmaps (including the window next to the START letters) its fun! :-D
