This program shows you how to set the startbutton picture. It first uses the findwindow api to find the taskbar, then it does a findwindowex api to find the startbutton. From there it gets the device context. Then we can just pain to it.
Side Effects
Windows updates the start button on regular times (about every second). Keep the timer short to prevent flickering
