Does anyone know how to change Windows 2000 startup logo? I know how it was done with Win NT server and workstation but it doesnt seem to be the same with 2000. I'm looking to customize a little.

Yes it is possible, but you are quite right, there is no logo.sys this time around. This time the logo has been embedded in the Windows kernl. You must hack ntoskrnl.exe to
change the bitmap.

Check out the following web site, it has a nice freeware utility that allows you to change the bitmap with your customized version. The tool is called resource hacker which allows you to add and delete resources in Win32 executables. Incorporates an internal resource compiler and decompiler. Works on both Win9x and WinNT.

It's freeware

You may want to check out littlewhitedog.com. It will give you instructions on how to change the lognon screen for service pack 1 and service pack 2. It will then tell you what hex number to look for and which hexeditor that they use.
