All-

I'm reading a variety of passages concerning this modification and am trying to everntually create a script that will update all workstations for a given division.

I just need to find out how to customize the Log On to Windows screen and I realize you need to write your own GINA.dll file.. Question is, how do I do this? :-(

Thx for any support

The BOOT SPLASH screen, is simple...

add the following '/bootlogo=boot.bmp' to the BOOT.INI file...
for example...
Code:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /noguiboot [b]/bootlogo=boot.bmp[/b]

The BOOT.BMP has to be in 16 Colors with a size of 640x480 pixels, to work...

about the LOGONUI.EXE (where the Logon Picture resides) you will need a program, like those described by Linney... to be on the save side....

Hi all-

what if I just wanted to add text to the existing Windows logon screen, something simple above the username entry?
