GeneralIx Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 (edited) My custom Windows setup is now working the way I wanted it to, nearly everything starts customised, the theme, the background, the registry etc. The only thing I'm really eager to change now is the logonscreen. I have tried to modify the logonui.exe with PE Editor but this led to a fine crash (My eternal grattitude to VMWare for making crashes on virtual machines instead of my own B) ) so I was wondering how to change the original logonscreen with a .logonxp file. Any possibilities of installing logonxp and then having a batchfile enable it? Or anything better (or worse, as long as it works )?Thanks in advance Edited May 22, 2006 by GeneralIx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralIx Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 What for? I asked a question, I gave no answers. I merely said that you could edit your logonui.exe with PE Explorer, but this leads to a crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralIx Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 Which program do you use ? I tried using PE Explorer yet this led to a crash... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralIx Posted May 27, 2006 Author Share Posted May 27, 2006 Nevermind, I found my way around. You install logonstudio and make your own theme, apply it and you then go to your system32 directory and filter out the logonuiX.exe file. Put this one in your $OEM$\$$\system32 folder. So much for step 1. Step two is making this file used as your logonscreen, it's not as hard as it sounds. In fact all you need to do is adjust a registry key in a .reg file and make a .bat or a .cmd file to put this in your register. Firstly, let's write the .reg file. Open up notepad and type in the following: ; Set default logonscreen to logonuiX.exe[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]"UIHost"="%windir%\\system32\\logonuiX.exe"Save this file as a .reg file named logonui.reg (or something else but this is the name I'll stick to) in the $OEM$\$1\Install folder. The next thing to do is make the .cmd file. Open up notepad again and type in:@echo offcmdow @ /HIDREGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\Install\logonui.regEXITSave this file as logonui.cmd. The cmdow @ /HID is optional, depending on if you have this program or not. And lastly to have it all work, openup cmdlines.txt and add:[COMMANDS]"logonui.cmd"If all that's done correctly as outlined here it works I hope this will help you guys Greets,General Ix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
