Thank you, I did think about the length of strings. I remember
changing the "Start" text in Windows with a hex editor, and it had to
be exactly five letters long (Luckily, my name is five letters long in
English, and on Hebrew Windows the word "Start" is four letters long,
just like my name!).

Thanks.
