About this tag
MUI files, or Multilingual User Interface files, are used by Windows to store localized text strings for the operating system's interface. On WindowsForum.com, users discuss modifying MUI files to customize visual elements like the boot logo or taskbar text. For example, one user seeks to change the Windows boot logo and suspects it is stored in an MUI or DLL file. Another user attempts to edit the 'Start' text in explorer.exe.mui on Windows 7 64-bit to make the taskbar narrower, but finds that changes do not take effect even after modifying files in both the en-US and SysWOW64 folders. These threads highlight the challenges of editing MUI files for customization, including locating the correct file and ensuring changes persist after a reboot.
