rendrag Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 it's been asked before, and i was under the impression from previous posts that it's not something you can edit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rendrag Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 to be honest, I do not remember the details... if you do a search for the topic, it should come up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 the location to edit is not known. The particular file has yet to be found and the exact HEX location to edit will then need to be found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epic Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 To say the least ntoskrnl.exe has the bootsetup and yes you can edit it, but be forewarned if done incorrectly your system will not boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the bootlogo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiMoNsAyS Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 SETUPLDR.BIN i think, or this is what i've read from other members my thoughts are that is not on the bin file, string is on SETUPLDR.EX_ (.exe), just b/c of the way windows setup works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refuse_ Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 As far as i can see you need to modify the setupldr.ex_and also smss.exe in i386\system32 from the install dir.Expand setupldr.ex_ and use PE Resource Explorer (which can edit exe files) to edit the files.PE Resource Explorer can be found at http://www.wilsonc.demon.co.uk/d6peresourceeditor.htm(or search for any resource hacker that can edit .exe)I'm still in the progress of editting this, so i'm not 100% sure how it will behave after it has been editted (or if it's even the right files) So if anyone tries this, feel free to keep me updated Hope this is usefull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nexxxus Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Thank u very much for this.. this is just what i need.. dont expand and edit the setupldr.ex instead just edit smss.exe with XN resource editor and it will work.. i change the text "Windows Xp Installation" in smss.exe and created iso and tried in virtual pc 2007 and it was edited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
