Start by opening Windows Explorer and click View/FolderOptions from the toolbar, and select ShowAllFiles and click OK. Then make sure you are in the root directory C:\ and look for a file called LOGO.SYS


If it is there rename LOGO.SYS to something like OLDLOGO.SYS so you can keep it incase you ever wish to return to using the MS splash screen.


Now you're going to need to create the new splash screen for you to use. The new image has to be a bitmap image *.bmp with 256 colours and 640x480 pixels.


Then resize the image to 320x400 because the Windows boot process wil stretch your image to the required above dimensions (640x480) and save the file as LOGO.SYS and save it in the C:\ directory.
Then reboot and enjoy your new splash screen.

Can that be done with XP Pro

Not that easy, but can be done. XP boot screens (http://www.themexp.org/howto.php)

Scroll to the bottom of the page and there are instructions on how to go about it.

Why put it down to 320x400 only to have it go back to 640x480?

Because that's the way it works.

NOTE that it's 640x400, not 640x480. Read that link very carefully.
