Updating SharePoint Menu

Updating SharePoint Dropdown Menu Text, updating defailt text in SharePoint like "Change Site Settings", "Manage Users", etc.

If you absolutely want to change the text that appears on Dropdown lists in SharePoint, for example things like below, you can edit the Core.JS and OWS.js files in the 12 hive at the location C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\1033.

But please be aware that this is not a recommended process because if you get any SharePoint updates or migrate sites from one server to another server you would loose these changes. But putting down here anyway!
