Changing startup image

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.

I've done this to a co-worker (he's a marine that loves
america and we replaced his boot image with a french flag.),
and nothing bad happend... just total hillarity.

Wow that seems like a lot of work. I wish it was as easy as
dog blechs method

you have 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...

custom logo

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

due to drinking too much yesterday
