Is there a way to change the start up image on a computer? Like when you start up your computer and that windows screen appears. is that possible?
I'd rather have my own.
I am on XP

In c:\windows can you just swap the winnt.bmp for what you want? I haven't tried it.

his method works for win98, I've tried it many times. it includes renaming and resizing the .bmp file, don't remember much of this now...

oh, i tried this once. the same time i was changing the text on my start button and did some other . used reshack and shut down explorer.exe while changing some files i don't remember. pretty geeky actually. do some googling on xp hacks and tricks and stuff and fuck up your windows properly.

make sure the image is the proper size of your monitor, otherwise it will look streched
