I checked it and the file is "msgina.dll". So just replace the BITMAPs and check it again. Don't use the registry hack to change the file.
dude using tuneup utilities 2007 i changed the background of the bootscreen .and also the color of the progress bar but i cant change height and width of the progress bar .can u plz ttel me how to do tht?Vishal Gupta said:Its in %windir%\System32\NToskrnl.exe file. U can change the desired BITMAPs to change the progressbar. But the BITMAPs in the file are masked and will not be visible in Resource hacker as well as imaging softwares. U'll need to download and install plug-ins/etc to see and edit them. So its a tricky and lengthy task.
U can use other 3rd party s/w, like bootskin, tuneup, etc. to change it.

the start menu would look like this:(Stuff above the separator above the usual menu)

Programs >
Settings > [which I plan to replace with the Self-Destruct Mechanism, I mean "Control Panel" anyway. Does anyone else find it ridiculous that they call it "Settings", but then have direct links to only "Network and Dial-up", "Printers", and "Taskbar & Start Menu" and anything else you have to open up the Control Panel for?]

Even better: ability to hide certain of the Category folders from some users. E.g., some people in my family only use the computer for games and thus don't need access to any of the others.(Stuff above the separator above the usual menu)
