how to change the picture logo

[kilimats]

i would like to change the windows xp picture that we can see before the logon

do you have any idea how to change it ?

[HybridShadow]

Google for reshacker

and open msgina.dll ( I think )

replace the files inside it with your own

Remember to keep a back up of your msgina.dll

i tryed it but sound a little difficult and risky

i used long time ago (1 year) a program that can edit a lot of think on windows, it was called something like setupX, but not sure

anybody know that program name ?

[HybridShadow]

Yes if you don't know alot about how to use reshacker it can be 'fatal' to your installation

That program sounds good i will have a look around for you

Possibly X-Setup -> http://www.x-setup.net/

yes, nakira, that's the program i'm talking about, but look like that the newest version don't have the option to change the logon screen, i tryed to find it but without success

shell32.dll and msgina.dll

[HybridShadow]

Yes those files are right but he doesnt want to reshack them

As he said in Post 3

But no matter

I still looking around for a program.

You could upload the picture you want and the file you want edited and i could try it for you

[kilimats]

waaaaa, matt5108 i would like too if you don't mind

what resolution is the login picture ?

i'm using windows xp SP2 professional

[HybridShadow]

Make a few in BMP file just Rar/Zip them after

413x72

413x88

Also add your msgina.dll file and shell32.dll file

Incase of Version mismatches if i use mine

Also I guess you are running XP Pro

[kilimats]

You're probably thinking of the way Windows before XP did the pre-login wallpaper. With Win2000, for example, the wallpaper was a picture file, the path specified in the All Users (might have been Default User) registry. This is what X-Setup could change. If Fast User Switching is disabled (or the Use Welcome Screen unchecked), WinXP operates the same way. The default (using FUS), uses the msgina/shell32.dll/winlogon.exe, one of those probably, to show the new XP-style "logon screen". That's what can be quite hard to change. The other people on the forum here can probably help you better with that.

I don't know if the latest version of X-Setup can do what it used to do, but Microsoft's Tweak UI can, under the Logon\Settings section.

Ok ive downloaded it but i wont be able to do it until i get back from school LOL

I will be back at 3/4 CST i will place another yousendit link up

And you can BACKUP the originals and then replace them with these slightly modified ones, BTW have you got WFP (Windows File Protection) on? It may cause problems with replacing

[kilimats]

Did you make it work ?
