Language independent logons setup

[LordWarlock]

I created small setup, which will install xpized logon screens (blue, green and silver). This setup is language independent, so the instaled logons will be in the same language as your system. When uninstaled, it will restore default xp logon.

You can swithch colors and restore default logon using created Start menu shortcuts, or you could download Logon Loader.

Download: removed (as requested by Seven Alive)

Yeah, this is awesome. Seems to work for me. But how does your logon know, what language to use?

It simply patches default logonui.exe (not directly, it creates a copy - look in %windir%\resources\logonui).

[Dynaletik]

Yes, that is quite intelligent. Does it create the reg files dependent on where Win XP is installed, because my reg file says:

"UIHost"="C:\\windows\\Resources\\logonui\\EnergyBlue\\eblue.exe"

Wouldn't it be better to use:

"UIHost"="%systemroot%\\Resources\\logonui\\EnergyBlue\\eblue.exe"

?

And could XPero integrate this into XPize?

P.S.: An uninstall shortcut in Startmenu would be quite nice, too.

Yes the reg file should be created dependent on where windows is instaled but I think I will change it and use %systemroot% and I will add uninstall shortcut too.

It should be quiet simple to integrate it to XPize, it uses the same patching method.

Sounds good. I hope Seven Alive has no problem with this, because he created the logon, I think.

How can I Thank you?

Just tell me?

[Guest Spyhawk]

Just nice. It's was i'm looking for. Great thx.

It didn't work for me.

I had to do a System Restore 'cause the logon screen got replaced by a little Username & Password window.

My problem now is different as I cannot find the English part that I want to replace with the Italian one. Wasn't the file called LOGONUI.EXE? Well, there's no evidence of English sentences there...

This is weird. Had you tried to uninstall it properly, before you used the system restore. The setup does not replace the default logonui.exe, it only creates and patches a copy of it and changes one registry entry. If your default logon was not restored, save this as a .reg file and import it to registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"UIHost"="logonUI.exe"

how to use this unattended?

With the 1 i want gets "installed" and the shortcuts removed.

And it would be nice if there was a winntbbu.dll in the same style

Wouldn't it be the best, if you two work together and publish an multilingual LogonScreen?

ok, what the hell???????????

For one thing, there is no possible way for anyone to take my logons, take the resources out and use them to patch the logonui in windows.

1. it is encrypted and protected

2. i made my own script, if u can get the images, it doesnt matter, it wont look or work right.

ad 1) unpacked, decrypted (PeCompact is no problem, unpacked in 10 sec)

ad 2) install and look for yourself

Please remove your download

Done, but still think my solutin is better than yours.
