      In windows 98, if you want to change the logo you have to edit the file logo.sys or logos.sys. But in windows xp, I not sure too how to the file that affect the picture of the windows xp that start up. But try to check this website[^]. It might offer some feature that you need to customize your windows xp. Let me know if it is match what you need or not.

        there's a little app called BootXP (www.bootxp.net) which will do that for you, or there are plenty of places on the internet where you can find instructions on how to change the boot screen. the easiest way is to edit your boot.ini though. the splash screen itself is contained in C:\{WinDir}\{SysDir}\NTOSKRNL.EXE. but, before you go scratching around in these files, go read up on this stuff on the internet... -- Raoul Snyman Saturn Laboratories e-mail: raoul.snyman@saturnlaboratories.co.za web: http://www.saturnlaboratories.co.za/ linux user: #333298

          Changing or tampering NTOSKRNL.EXE to modify the bootup screen may not really be a good idea. I did end up locked off from my Win XP! So watch out. WinXP deals strictly with changed system files and will display some warnings every time this file is changed. I had this experience when I installed MacOS transformation pack. But beware that such custom packs may change quite a lot of system files and hence all your service pack updates might be rendered useless. So stick around with good commercial products (Designed for..... logo). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

            OK, another similar question. In windows 2000 when it start up the user need to supply the user name and password. But before to give the user name and password you have to press Control + Alt + Delete. What I ask is the dialog that you press Control + Alt + Delete have the picture of logo windows 2000. I want to change this picture in the dialog box. How could I do that???
