    Image has to conform to specific dimensions I believe to be supported and be of a specific BMP resolution flavor. I played with this 8 years ago and cant remember exactly what I had to do, but it sounds like you are on the right path. I bet Google has a bunch of info on it.

    I tried editing winnt.bmp and winnt256.bmp on one of my experimental computers but it didn't change anything.
    Since I have nothing to do, I'll go google some more because this sounds very interesting...  ;D

        i went to the address you've showed ,
        i created a .exe file and replace it to logonui.exe in the registry the i copied that file to the system32 in windows folder,now after restarting the pc the logon screen disappears but not even the file which i created,.the screen turns black with a small moving cmd dialogue box,what did i do wrong or what i was supposed to do?
        Also: I want to Customize bootscreen,can this be done without any special software? How? please help.

          I managed to return the original logon screen by passing the same steps,but what keep me wondering me is why other .exe can'nt function well.can you try to do this?
