Change Xp Boot Screen

[nizers]

yes you can change the 98 boot screen.. it's actually easier then in XP (unless you have bootxp) all you have to do is unzip the boot screen that you want and take that ntoskrnl.exe and use it to replace your old one. I think it's in your C:/windows folder but can't remember.. just do a search for it.

Razz... if i were you i'd try asking a friend for a copy of theirs. That should work... if you have a friend with the OS boot screen your looking for.

My problem is the opposite! XP Pro had cool boot choices with icons, but when I tweked my network settings - I have a boring drop down for users, I tried bootXP and a few others but this must be a setting that I changed and cannot remember.

You can change this in Settings > Control Panel > User Accounts > Pick A Task: Change The Way Users Log On And Off
You'll want to check "Use the Welcome Screen"
