Rename Items in Start Menu

If you right click on an item in the start menu/toolbar, there is no 'rename' option if you have Internet Explorer 4.01 or earlier. To rename an item:

  1. Left-click drag the item in question to the desktop.

  2. Rename the new item on the desktop whatever you want.

  3. Right-click drag the newly-renamed item back to its previous location and choose 'Move here'.



Rename the Recycle Bin

To add the rename option to the right-click menu for the Recycle Bin create a new text file and add the following:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\ShellFolder]
"Attributes"=hex:50,01,00,20

Rename the file extension to .reg rather then text then run the file and it will add the above registry key. Right click on the Recycle Bin and Rename it.



Change "My Documents" folder location

Windows 98 comes with a "My Documents" folder in the root folder of your hard drive. By default, it is located at C:\My Documents - but you can change this if you prefer it to be someplace else. Simply right-click "My Documents" on your desktop and type in the new location you want Windows 98 to use for it.



Hide The Startup Group

Since you can't delete the StartUp folder, you can just right click it and select properties to change its attributes to hidden, and it will stop it being displayed, however, this doesn't stop any programs in it from being run.
