Hi Lukas,

If you want to make your Windows 7 PC more unique and personalized, you need to use the Start Button Changer app.

First, download the free Windows 7 Start Button Changer, and extract the contents of the folder. It contains the app along with a selection of alternate start button orbs you can try out.

Before changing the start button, create a system restore in case anything goes wrong.
Enter System Restore in your Start menu search, and select “Create a restore point”.
Click the Create button…
Then enter a name for the restore point, and click Create.




Changing the Start Orb.

1. Once this is finished, run the Windows 7 Start Button Changer as administrator by right-clicking on it and selecting “Run as administrator”. Accept the UAC prompt that will appear.
2. You should now see the Windows 7 Start Button Changer. 
3. On the left it shows what your current (default) start orb looks like inactive, when hovered over, and when selected. 
4. Click the orb on the right to select a new start button.
5. Click the orb you want, and then select open.
6. When you click Open, your screen will momentarily freeze and your taskbar will disappear. When it reappears, your computer will have gone from having the old style to new one.
7. Now, the Windows 7 Start Orb Changer will change, and show your new Start orb on the left side. If you would like to revert to the default orb, simply click the folder icon to restore it. Or, if you would like to change the orb again, restore the original first and then select a new one.

I hope this helps in solving this issue.

Lokesh
