zzrailzz wrote One of the links Jain posted   http://www.askvg.com/how-to-change-windows-xp-boot-screen-using-tuneup-utilities/    is what I used . This is a really nice prog you can change the logon screen and the logoff screen as well as a whole lotta other stuff. Then as posted in this article  http://www.askvg.com/list-of-files-to-be-hacked-using-resource-hacker/ you just edit shell32.dll and msgina.dll in res hacker to make the text whatever you want . have fun with it :)
