1. copy windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe to windows\system32\mykrnl.exe
2. start Resource Hacker{SOFT} and open windows\system32\mykrnl.exe
3. the startup screen bitmaps are 1, 8, and 10 - you only need to edit number 1 bitmap
4. select Actions/Save [Bitmap . . .] and save bitmap 1 to your hard drive. Since you are not editing ntsokrnl, you do not need to save the 3 bitmaps for going back to the original later - they are all saved within the file, ntsokrnl.exe !!
5. open the bitmap in Photoshop - oddly - it will be completely black
6. click Image/Mode/Color Table . . . and load the 16-color Palette
7. suddenly the image will show up - so strange !!!
8. edit the image or replace it - using the same size and the same palette
9. save the image, go back to Resource Hacker, and select Actions/Replace Bitmap
10. save the file mykrnl.exe
11. edit boot.ini to point to the new kernel file - simply add /kernel=mykrnl.exe to the end of the WinXP line. This example is for a dual-boot system where C drive has Win98 and D drive has WinXP. The boot.ini file is on the C drive :
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /KERNEL=Mykrnl.exe
C:\ = "Microsoft Windows 98 SE"
12. Done !!! To go back to the original splash screen, just remove the text, "/KERNEL=Mykrnl.exe"

Hello, click on the link below to have some more info:http://ccm.net/faq/sujet 511 removing the welcome logo when starting windows xp..Sure this tip will not allow to change the XP background, but will certainly remove it and speeds up booting process.
Didn't find the answer you are looking for?
Ask a question
Maybe you can use the "Tune Up Utilities 2007" for this one. Ive done it with my laptop, I changed the xp bootscreen to alienware boot sceen.Hope this could help.
