In winXP, can said thing be done?
I want to replace it with this:
PHP Code:$s = new signature();
$s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
get a resource hacker & start working on the NT kernel file NTOSKRNL.EXE
That's what I was thinking I'd have to do.
PHP Code:$s = new signature();
$s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
it'll need to be the exact dimensions of the existing image tho, and probably need a palate hack too
Read the latest issue of Custom PC (Jan '04 Issue 004 pages 90-100). There's a whole article about modding Win XP. I've read most of it and think I may have seen a way to do it but I can't remember (was a few days ago).
Anyway, there's loads of links for programs to hack the look of XP to what you want and also lots of skin programs/editors. Very interesting!
Ta guys!

Jo, where is that NTOSKRNL file? I tried looking in the one in System32 but it doesn't have a logon screen image.
it might be in another file, i guessed ntoskrnl since that's where the boot screen si stored
I believe that's the GINA (msgina.dll).
Some network clients replace this with their own (e.g. pcAnywhere and NetWare are classic ones), but there is code behind the window so it's not just a straightforward image replacement.
I Google'd and found the beginning of an article that seemed to imply you could modify the GINA, but you have to pay to read the rest LOL.
I did find a detailed overview on how to code your own on codeguru.com or something, but nothing that's a generic replacement DLL that points to an external BMP file or what-have-you I'm afraid.

Well, I think I'll be installing XP on a virtual PC and having a play around - that way I can kill it as many times as I want, lol.

copy & paste the VHD file somewhere, it'll save time
I will do directhex. I had a copy of win2k3 server that I just played with - found the resource and hacked it. Unfortunately when I reset it the activation kicked in (I'd had it's state saved for a while - before the 14 day period ran out.)
So I'm installing XP now - gonna do some heavy OS modding me thinks!

i've got some trials of 2k3 lying around (180day server standard, 360day server enterprise, 3 copies of each), i can something your way for postage costs if ye like
Thanks, but it's no problem directhex - I could have activated it - but couldn't be bothered.
