Small custom changes to welcome screen?

[mattboy_slim]

We have a machine we need to use for kiosk-type applications. I would like to change the left column in the center row of the welcome screen. I've been reading on Resource Hacker for a number of hours and have really no further understanding of it than I did before I started. I have the "contentcontainer" section of LogonUI.exe in front of me, but it really makes no sense, and I'm not sure I'm looking at the right area. I also looked at using a program like LogonStudio, but since it is a kiosk application, we don't want any extra applications running on the box.

I have attached an image (png) of what I would like to accomplish, with (3) numbered tasks. I'm hoping that someone understands what I would like to do and could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt

1. go to the bitmap section, find the bitmap, and replace it with one without the gradient.

2. you might be able to do this by editing the uifile section of logonui.exe.

3. you can edit text by editing the strings in the string table section. if that doesn't work, you could try adding the text to the bitmap.
