Ever since I've started using Windows Vista RC1 build 5600, the splash
screen during startup that is shown displays no logo, only the progressbar
(which I liked better on the XP startup, but anyway) that scrolls around,
with a short copyright notice on the bottom. I haven't seen Vista on any
other computer, but I'm assuming there hasn't been one made yet. Whatever
the reason for not supplying this, I would really like to have a nicer
splash screen at startup.
I think I recall for Windows XP you had to patch a system file to change the
startup screen. Is it stored as a single file anywhere, or is the splash
screen stored as a resource in some system dll? If so, is it digitally
signed, and can I change it..?
Basically, is there any way to change this screen to be a little 'nicer'? I
just want to see something when it's loading, that's all. If it involves
more than simply changing a file or resources of a file, then it's probably
not worth doing yet.
Thanks for any information in advance,
