BoxerBoi76 Posted July 13, 2001 Share Posted July 13, 2001 Sure, just change this registry key!!! [HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelColors Double click on the Background key on the right and enter the "Value data:" for the color you want, ie: 0 0 0 = Black! Make sure you have a space between each #. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davjak Posted July 13, 2001 Author Share Posted July 13, 2001 Thanks for that, already done that. Wrong window. I mean the boot screen, the WinNT4 equivalent of a splash screen in Win98 etc. The one that shows Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 (Service Pack 6) 1 Multiprocessor etc etc Know how to change that?

Germano Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 Modifying the startup screens on Windows NT is the easiest of all. For WindowsNT, different resolutions are okay. The files are: C:\winnt\winnt256.bmp -- startup (NT workstation only) C:\winnt\lanma256.bmp -- startup (NT server) C:\winnt\lanmannt.bmp -- same bitmap as lanma256.bmp on a default NT server setup Simply replace those files with the bitmaps of your choice.

dougkinzinger Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 Goofyd-- I know where you're reffering to and you can't ... at 1996-level WinNT4, it's embedded into Kernel32.dll ... unchangeable, even with Resource Hacker. And, why care anyway? Just upgrade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
