modlink
hi people,
i found a custom uplink welcome screen on modlink, and i was wandering whether anyone would have the time to create an uplink boot screen.
i would try it my self, but i'm not very creative and also i haven't got a clue how to make one
thanx

You mean for windows?
If you're running 9x, then the file you want is called "logo.sys"
You can rename it to "logo.bmp", edit it, then rename it back and you're done. Be carefull to get the colour depth and size the same though, or it won't work.
Win XP is much more complicated, I understand...

There's no need to modify winlogon.exe. Stardock has a rather nice tool called LogonStudio. It gives you a way of modifying it graphically.
Get it here (it's freeware):

If you want to modify the boot screen, the one with the Windows logo, grab Stardock's BootSkin application (which is also freeware):

I've used them both extensively with no issues whatsoever.

Rather than replacing Microsoft's version of the file (which is apparently logonui.exe, not winlogon.exe...) with a hacked one, it makes a copy and applies the data: logonuix.exe. When you uninstall the program, it points the appropriate registry entry back to your old logonui.exe.
In conclusion, it's technically not editing your logonui.exe file.

StyleXP really shouldn't cause any problems. All it does is use the XP Visual Styles engine. Then again, if the application isn't to well written...ehh.
If you want a better solution, either grab WindowBlinds (it uses its own skinning engine, but is very quick) or hack the uxtheme.dll yourself (or, rather, with the aid of a nice friendly utility):

The uxtheme.dll patch is the ultimate poor (wo)man's theming solution, and if Luna (XP's standard style) works fine on your system, so will everything else you get for it.
