I'm having another weird problem with my copy of Windows XP...

My shutdown/log off icons are kinda messed up. The buttons themselves are there, but the description after them are missing. Like the shutdown button is there, but it doesn't say shutdown.

Below is a pic of what it actually looks like. I'm pretty sure it was from a program that i used to remove it, but it never fully replaced the text. The program was for replacing the icons with a mac look alike menu, but it never fully reverted itself when i uninstalled it. Besides telling me that the program was a mistake, or reinstall windows, is there anything that I can do to restore the text beside the logoff/shutdown buttons?

LS Patch (Logoff Shutdown Patch) was used on it, it removes the text so some Vista themes look better

Ah, I believe that's the program I used. Do you know of a way to get the text back? It seems as if reinstalling it and unpatching does not restore the text. The same problem occurred after I tried unpatching it the first time.

Yea, you could replace/update explorer.exe with a more recent one found in KB955109 (click view and request hotfix and order it)

Thanks, I just replaced explorer.exe with a new one that hasn't been modified. Thanks for the solution!
