Hide windows logon

[Specktro]

Hi there

Let's see If anyone can help me on this:

I want to remove/disable/hide the windows logon, so when I log in automatically (using control userpasswords2) I don't see any windows referenced images.

I don't want to use any app like Reshack to change the logon images. I really wanted not to see it. The password would be configured using control userpasswords2.

Thanks in advance

Are you using XP? It should work fine with that. You'll need to make sure that you set the welcome screen on to avoid the windows xp logos showing.

Not sure in Vista though.

Thanks for your reply

Yes, I am using XP. I am testing to see if I can use this in windows XP Embedded

I turned the welcome screen off because my objective is to hide "windows XP references" , so that when somebody logs into the system, they don't see any windows standard references.

The idea it's to believe that we are using a embedded system, where the user has access to an application, and he runs everything he needs through it

You could make the program the shell and replace explorer. That would work.

You can only turn off the welcome screen, you can't turn off the xp login banners, however you can reshack them, as you pointed out.

I tried that but although the log on images appear really fast, it's possible to realise that I'm using windows XP.

The only way is to reshack them? Because I really didn't want to use any app to change the O.S. :(

not sure how much this is going to help but there is that thread about tuneup winstyler, judging by the screenshots in there it looks pretty versatile... its up to version 4 now i think
