    If you would like to change your boot up screen follow the directions below.
    These instructions assume that you have a place to download the boot screen from the net.
    If you would like to download a boot screen, visit http://www.themexp.org

    1. Backup (copy) the file %windir%\system32\ntoskrnl.exe (most likely C:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe - the boot screen)
    2. Download the .zip to your computer
    3. Extract ntoskrnl.exe to a directory other than %windir%\system32 (most likely C:\windows\system32)
    4. Reboot your computer into Safe Mode (hit F8 before the boot screen) or into true DOS (from a boot disk)
    5. Overwrite the file %windir%\system32\ntoskrnl.exe (which should have been backed up) with the extracted exe
    6. Reboot your computer as you normally would

    Or you can just use BootXP and have it all done automatically

    AFAIK it will - But it doesn't have the same support if you try.

    Check out the web site via the link I gave above - The web site should be able to make it clearer
