OK, let's do it! - Prepare the picture
Create a bmp picture, size 640 x 480, 16 Colors. MS Paint can save pictures in that format, many other graphic editors can do it too.
Name your picture "boot.bmp" and copy it to your Windows folder (e.g. "C:\Windows \". - Change System settings
Now you have to change the boot settings. Make sure, you can see hidden files (you can set that in "Folder settings"). Make the file "boot.ini", which would be on your root directory (e.g. "C:\"), writable (right mouse click onto it, "Properties ", deselect "Write protected", click "OK") and open it with an editor (e.g. Notepad).
Find the entry "[operating systems]" and to the line beneath, add "/bootlogo /noguiboot". (Example picture in german) Now save and close "boot.ini", make it write protected again and restart your system. If you did every thing correctly, it should load with the new Bootscreen!

Hi,
As title says i want to change a logon screen for winXP without any software.
Is there any solution?
Thanx
Hello Ali,
Unfortunately there is no way to change the Windows logon screen without the use of third-party programs.
In Windows XP, the logon screen is referred to as the Welcome Screen. The GUI elements for the Welcome screen are housed in the logongui.exe file in your System32 directory. Since this is a compiled file, the only way to edit it is through the use of some third-party program such as Resource Hacker.

Hi All,
we have four app servers and 5 services are installed in each machine.
For every 60 days we need to change winodws domain users passwords, which
the services run.
Is there any way we can grab the service programatically and change service
logon credentials using C# utility?
I can loop through all services installed on the machine using the following

Hi,
we've got a strange problem here:
We've created an ASP.NET 2.0 web application using Membership.ValidateUser()
to manually authenticate users with our website.
The problem is: If the user has the "User must change password" flag set in
Active Directory, ValidateUser() always returns false if that user wants to
log in.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
