Splash screen tweak for winxphome

Hello All..

A little while ago I took off the splash screen in xp by adding the sos to the end of the startup : multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect/SOS

I was wondering if you could put up a picture in place of the splash screen as you can in say linux based systems? Maybe by adding a different directory or something to the startup file?

Any ideas or tips would be fine..

Thanks

Ok cool. I see how to do it, and what I would like to use in place of the splash screen, but do you think it is a good/bad idea? and if bad why?

Thanks Cricket
