Sorry, can't find the link. My problem is, very similar. I am very glad to have found the xpizer. Saves me changing the OS as it looks brandnew. I don't like Wallpapers, so I have removed them all. Also removed the Boot.bmp, because at some stage I built a reasonably cute Kernel with a different display. No I have everything in black, but the old blue (of the sort of the traditional xp-logon screen) shows up for a brief moment before the posh new black login-welcome shows up. Same, when I do a "fast user switch". Any idea what I do have to hack here? Would the use of a 100% black wallpaper somewhere help? Else, thanks, great job. I am enjoying it! No problems (the taking over of Win+F12 by the "Task Switcher Pro" confused me initially, as I used it for something else, but I got this out of the way;)) Cheers, G.
