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...

hi, i've tried to check the web that Broni address me and i've found something very confusing to me.what's the big diffference between boot screen and logon screen?does these all share the same Winnt.bmp and Winnt256.bmp? customizing the logon screen has any effects to the boot screen?(of course if there's any difference!). please help

Boot screen:



Logon screen:

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.
thanks.

I've never done this myself, so I can't advice you from my experience.

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?

[Broni]

Maybe over the weekend...

wellthen, i hope you'll notify me if you'll suceed and next time you you should prefer to try  on something first before you show it to someone esle(that's my advice if you dont'nt mind)thanks.
