how do i apply custom logon screens?

[ceez]

i am enjoying the benefits of having modified themes and boot screens, but now I want to hit the logon screen!!!

I downloaded a few of the logons from themexp.org, they come in the form of an executable. Do I just run the file and that's it? What if I want to go back to my old logon screen?

stylexp has the ability to change your themes as well as your logon screens.

It can be downloaded from here

so the uxtheme hack is only for themes? I was able to install a boot screen w/out styleXP. I guess I would just need it for the logon screen then.

Hrm .. need to reboot into safe mode to do it.

Is there a way i can get around this to change the boot logo during install?

Perhaps slipstream the ntoskrnl.exe file into XP Setup?

the one i downloaded (CIA boot) from themexp.org had an ntoskrnl already with the logo in it. All you do is rename it some thing else like ntoscia, copy to c:\win\sys32, add a line in the boot.ini and you're set. I am not home right now and have the step by step, but if you download a cia boot you'll have the full very wordy instructions!
