still can't get rid of blue boot screen

I've done the things recommended on this site which have helped but I'm still
trying to eliminate a blue screen on boot that appears until my custom
desktop image in the Explorer Shell comes up. After the bios display I get :
black, then solid blue screen for about five seconds, then my custom
wallpaper.

Specifically, I've done the following:

1) I've put a 640x480 16 colour (4 bit) bitmap (black) called boot.bmp
in my windows directory and added /noguiboot /bootlogo to the
[operating systems] selection line in boot.ini.

2) I've added
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system],
"DisableStatusMessages"=dword:1 value.

3) For my custom desktop image after boot I use (successfully)
[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop],"Wallpaper"

Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the ~5 seconds of blue screen.

Thanks,

Art

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop],"Background"

0 0 0 to make it black
 
I just added a "Background" key as a REG_BINARY 00 00 00 and it's still
blue.

Any more thoughts?

Thanks,
