mikefletcher85 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) I have been building a WinPE image to use at work for various tasks. I have pretty much all the tools set up the way I want it, but I wanted to change the boot animation so that me (or another user) could tell that it was booting PE and not Windows 7. I found a tool on the net called Win7BootUpdater.exe. With that tool I was able to change the Boot logo, the color of the text and the Copyright text at the bottom. But I cannot seem to change the "Starting Windows" string. According to the tool I changed it to "Loading Toolkit", then I used Resource Hacker and opened Windows\System32\winload.exe and saw that the last string was changed to "Loading Toolkit" but when it boots it still shows "Starting Windows". Does WinPE use a different file to control that text? If so, where might I look to find it?Thanks~Mike Edited February 7, 2013 by mikefletcher85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikefletcher85 Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Nevermind, I figured it out... There was another winload.exe.mui that I didnt see. It was located in Windows\System32\Boot\en-USI just copied the modified winload.exe.mui that I had to that location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
