Bah... you guys both have it wrong!!! It depends on the type of processor you have.

@hakeem5454 - Go get BootSkin from StarDock (it's freeware). You can create your own custom bootskin without running the risk of turning your system into a brick. If anything goes wrong, you can always boot into safe mode and disable the BootSkin.

Wha...? If your system is telling you the system32 folder doesn't exist then you've got big problems buddy...

To help you out on this... download this bootskin just for example's sake. Go to the C:\Program Files\StarDock\WinCustomize\BootSkin\Skins\SnowLaden\ folder and open up the bootskin.ini file. You'll be able to see how the general layout of the bootskin works.

If you want to add another image in there, you'll probably have to add it to the background image and use that as your bootskin. (Take the default background or whatever other background, open in an editor, add new image, save, use in bootskin)
