is there a way short of a 3rd party program to change the boot screen?? I am running Windows XP Home Edition with SP2. Would like to try a different screen. Tired of the old one. I am running BricoPack and it changed everything on my computer except the Boot Screen.It makes my computer look like it's running Vista. I really like it. Thought it was suppose to change that too but it didn't.
Hope someone can help me.

In order to change the boot screen in XP, you need to modify the file ntoskrnl.exe

Here is a link to a guide to help you decide if you want to take on the task.

Warning, make sure to back up ntoskrnl before making any changes.
