Firstly, what OS you running? | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 20 Junior Member | Junior Member Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 20 | I thought about it, and i take it you are running 'XP'. To customize the logon you will need to modify the 'logonui.exe', to do this click on the URL and download 'ResHacker' http://www.users.on.net/johnson/resourcehacker/reshack.zip using this program you will be able to open up 'logonui.exe' and replace the original images with ones of your own. Make sure that when your modifying file you make a backup, and the images you are replacing are the same size in resolution as the originals. | | | | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 955 UGN Super Poster | UGN Super Poster Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 955 | I think there is more to it with XP and it is much more sensitive to being fuct with in that aspect, as compared to any other MS OS. I would check out www.annoyances.org for further information, they have plenty on hacking your appearance and a complete walkthrough on what files are affects, what to replace, etc. Yes, I do believe you can use resource hacker, but there are some other important things to know before you start. Edit: Finding the threads on annoyances.org took too long. Check out these links that sum it up pretty damn well; http://www.ozzu.com/viewtopic.php?t=771&view=previous and as mentioned in the post, there is good instructions and links @ themexp.org also. | | | | Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 217 Member | Member Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 217 | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 59 Junior Member | Junior Member Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 59 | what bout with win 2k ?
