Hmmm, this requires a bit of resource hacking (referring to the app with the same name) Bitmap that Windows 2k displays is held in ntoskernel.exe (or kernel32.exe file, I'm not sure and it's 8 in the morning) file. Now you might want to consider backing-up this file first, before you do anything with it. Let's say you made a kernel1.exe copy. Open resource hacker, edit the bitmap and save the file (kernel1.exe). Make sure that you don't add some bitmap that's bigger than 16 colors! Open your boot.ini file and copy the Windows Adavnced Server and add this line: [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server" /fastdetect multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 New Face" /fastdetect /kernel=kernel1.exe Restart your machine! P.S. I don't like your sig Regards, Venet. Donec eris felix, multos numerabis amicos.
