its pretty easy....open paint or pspro and get the pic you want,
resize it to320x400. Find the file logo.sys...it might be underc:\ or system depending on the os. Search files and folders is faster.
then rename it logo.old.sys then save your new pic as logo.sys under the c:\. And thats it ...you got a new boot screen,instead of having to look at windows all the time.

Yep - unfortunately I don't think that works with Win2K or XP.

to change the boot screen in XP you can use a freeware program from Lockergnome called X Tec setup . It has wizards to walk you through almost any tweak for XP and earlier OS's as well
