Hello all...

My company has inherited three computers (standard PCs, running Windows XP
Pro).

The previous owner has done something really neat, something I may consider
doing myself, but for now I have to get rid of it. They have put a custom
graphic in the "Welcome" screen.

Explanation:

When you power up a 'regular' Windows XP PC, you get the 'Welcome to
Windows' screen up, asking you to press 'Ctrl-Alt-Del'. I will do my best to
represent it here:

(imagine this is pretty and colourful):

----------------------------------------
Welcome to Windows

Windows XP Professional
Copyright

Press Ctrl-Alt-Del
----------------------------------------





Now, on these computers, you get this:

----------------------------------------
Welcome to Windows

(CUSTOM COMPANY GRAPHIC WITH LOGO
AND COMPANY NAME)

Press Ctrl-Alt-Del
----------------------------------------

I have seen a lot of answers talking about changing the splash screen, or
the Windows welcome screen. _None of those apply_. I don't think this is a
'wallpaper' issue.

Any idea as to how this was done, and ideas on how to change it?
I am guessing it is a registry thing, or some custom util.

Thanks,

TN
