Hi all,

Finally after alot of looking and testing of different Bootscreen editors i have found one that i think is the best and is very simple. :w00t: :thumbup

Below you can download the latest version or visit the author's website.

Hope you find it as helpful as i did.

Yes SP2 is fully supported in version 1.15. Download the 1.15 version by clicking on the link in the first message.

I don't see any where on the site that says it's SP2 compatible.....

I see it compatible with 2000 SP2, but not XP SP2.

@bonedaddy
thanks. I missed the changelog. I'm used to sites that have a seperate page or something for the changelog. My bad :)

Fantastic. No more manual editing of the kernel. Thanks Felix for bringing it to the forum :thumbs:

Alright, after alittle fidling. I still like Boot Editor better.
Sure there's another step to create the thing, but I have no problem moving the progress bar in it.

And slightly overlooked, recently updated. The main site for boot editor has the new 1.0.1 version which supports SP2.

In This boot editor (Boot-Image) you have a preset number of progress bar things. Boot Editor, you can use any you can make in a image editor.

I suggest Boot Editor, but it's up to the user

Thanks Felix for the link on BootLogo. I am using it now and like it.

@Alanoll
Actually I tried BootEditor first before trying BootLogo, but somehow I couldn't get it to work. Is there any place I can look up for simpler instructions? The program says it's not making exe file anymore. It's making a zip in form of .bootscreen or something. In there it's only the bitmap images. I clicked 'Make' but nothing happened.

You have two routes to take....
One use the "Test" option which the author suggested to me, and it will create kernel1.exe i believe in system32 and you just copy that. Or download UserXP's adjacent program LogonRandomizer and it does the same thing, but on mass, LogonRandomizer is easier, as you create the .bootscreen files in Booteditor for all logos. LogonRandomizer sees them all, and you just double click the file. Go to system32, copy paste kernel1.exe rename, and repeat. If you need both a single kernel and dual kernel, just overwrite ntoskrnl.exe with the appropriate version and repeat.

At first I didn't like the new zip format but like alanoll said, you can just grab the test kernel from system32 (NewBoot.exe) after testing. The zip format is very convenient. Cuts down a lot on file size. Plus, boot editor is a great program.

And let's not forget.....
if someone were to start a collection here of screens, the zip files would be better as they're a few K rather then MB.
