    Default changing the loading screen in Windows 2000?

    Hi guys,

    I bought a pc for an in car computer for my nova project a while back - its a small form HP e-vectra and perfect for all my mp3's etc. Also have a 8" touch screen to go with it



    What I want though is to change the loading screen which is currently set to Windows 2000 (NT professional I think).

    Does anyone know how to do this?

    Wanna stick a funky graphic I'm considering in its place...

    remember doing this at school years back. Change windows startup screen to the old "You can now turn your PC off" screen. Teachers would turn on PC, see that, turn it off. Turn it on again etc etc. They thought the PCs were broken adn would never boot

    On my last day working for Parcelforce I changed the windows start up screen logo which was Parcelforce to Parcelfarce. I then went round all the computers in my old office saving over the top of the picture file.

    Apparently it was a good week or so before they noticed.
