This is a neat trick to change the Text on the start bar to anything you like. You can have fun with it at work or show your firends the new trick you figured out. There are other ways to do it that include going into the Windows Registry but I say thats to much work. You can just use a program called “StartBtn.exe.” It is quite simple to use in fact. Just download the program run it and type in your New start bar text in the box next to “New Label.”

Statistics gathered by the FBI suggest that more than 80%-85% of all e-mail is spam or junk and more than 100 billion spam messages are being sent via hijacked home computers that have been compromised by a computer virus. Over thirty years, spam has grown into an underground industry that sends out billions of messages every day.
Statistics suggest that more than 70%-85% of all e-mail is spam or junk and, to add a little history, the very first spam message was sent 30 years ago; this spam messages was sent via Arpanet (the internet’s forerunner).
Further statistics gathered by the FBI suggest that 75% of net scams snare people through junk e-mail. In 2007 these cons netted criminals more than $239m (£121m).
Today it celebrates its 30 year anniversary. I’m sure we couldn’t be happier for the stupid, dirty, annoying, criminal spammers.
