I, for one, am sick of reading all thoes stupid little tidbits that appear during windows installation. My question is, can they be changed to large images of women bare breasted, and wearing nothing but smiles?

I noticed that in the top left hand corner is a picture of a microsoft logo, so microsoft are displaying images on that screen. Therefor, somehow, they must be able to be changed!

Any suggestions?

As some people always say to me, find out for yourself and then tell us how you did it...I think this should go into how to "Customize Windows XP"...Don't you agree with me, moderators?

You can add a custom logo or picture in the top coner of the screen but i think thata all you can change.

Not really. If it can be done, id want to know how to put it into my automatic installation CD

N.B: You post too much.

ok you still want to change the screens in setup.

go to your windows xp area and go in to the I386 folder and then to the system32 folder and in there is a file called SMSS.EXE that contains some of the screens in setup.

I've seen this done before, so I know it can be done. I used to work for a university and they had custom images in place for their intallation cds.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you talking about customizing the screens of GUI-mode Setup? (The area where devices are installed, network, start menu, and components etc.)

thanks for the info

Does anyone have any more information thats a little more specific?

i was looking in the i386 folder and found that them screens are in seven or eight different places so it might be hard to do.

I386\SYSTEM32\SMSS

I386\WINNTBBA.DLL

I386\WINNTBBU.DLL
