I wouldn't do it, but -
http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/791/
Change the Start Button Text

Note you can save the registry key first by:
On the File menu, click Export.
In the File name box, type SaveKey, and then click Save.
Or create a system restore point prior to editing.

your start button, but be warned, the first time I tried to do this, I messed
up somewhere and ended up doing a clean install...anyway, having said that...
