Custom Boot Splash Scren

[CyberWorld]

Hi Guys,

In windows XP, Is there a way to have a text or JPG file do a splash wait 10 seconds during a boot?

Like a advertisment,or company logo ?

but continue to boot after a 5 or 10 second wait.
Thanks

BOOTLOGO

"Use this switch to have Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 display an installable splash screen instead of the standard splash screen. First, create a 16-color (any 16 colors) 640x480 bitmap and save it in the Windows directory with the name Boot.bmp. Then add "/bootlogo /noguiboot" to the boot.ini selection."

Or get bootskin, from

to randomize a different startup-screen every reboot ;-)
