I was wondering if there is a way to change the MS Windows
splash screen on start up. I think it would be fun to mess around
with that.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!
 
Start | Run | Type: regedit | click OK

Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system

Look in the right pane for VerboseStatus If it exists, double click it and
set its value to 1. If not, right click in a blank area of the right pane,
select New, DWord value and name it VerboseStatus. Set the value to 1.

Verbose vs normal status messages

Or use the /sos switch in the boot.ini

/SOS
Causes Windows to list the device drivers marked to load at boot time and
then to display the system version number (including the build number),
amount of physical memory, and number of processors. By default, the
Windows Loader screen only echoes progress dots.

You can do this with the System Configuration Utility (msconfig.exe)
Start | Run | Type: msconfig | Click OK |
BOOT.INI tab | Select /SOS | Click Apply | Click OK

The easiest way? (The only way to consider if you have to ask that
question - really...)

Hello,

I went and clicked on the link of "Changing Your Boot Screen" and it
appears to be a bad link ? I too would like to make some changes to my boot
screen. ?

Do you have another functioning link, Please ?

Thank You So Much,

Wayne

Hosts are doing pretty poorly lately but, then again, I've been nailed with
a lot of traffic lately? I wonder if it has anything to do with my site? <g>

I like it starting that way.

It looks like a machine starting and not a candy factory. ;-)

The splash screen was not the problem. It was a logon screen that followed
the splash screen.
It started when I was telling some guys in the office that I would like to
redesign my splash screen.
There has been a continual "thing" going on in there about two different
sports teams. So after I posted
a note asking about splash screen, I discovered someone had put a "photo" on
my computer of the "other"
sports team and it was there every time I logged on but especially when I
logged off. I could not find the
image on my computer nor could I figure out how to get rid of it. I got the
free program from Stardock
called LogonStudio and just imported a cool image into my system and now
have it instead of the sports team.
HOWEVER, there is a blank rectangle about 2 inches vertical and 6 inches
horizontal that is background
blue that shows up center screen when it is logging off as a continual
reminder. I don't know how to get rid of it.

Thanks Wesley for helping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
