Development of custom logonui.exe

I would appreciate if someone could point me to any information on developing custom login ui for winxp.

Thanks

LOL....I found the latter much harder.....Hacking logonui.exe is quite simple and only requires Resource Hacker and a little patience...Until you are comfortable with it, you'd be better off just changing the bitmaps in logonui....Once you understand more about it you can go ahead to modifying UIFILE which lets you change almost every aspect of the logon screen.

Bummer. So noone as of yet has actually written a logonui in vc++ from scratch? Has to be an sdk out there somewhere.

I don't think there is an SDK but if you want to write the logonui.exe, you'll probably need to learn XML coz that's what the logonui is written in....check the UIFILE tab in Resource Hacker......you can scroll about half-way down and you'll start seeing the code for the default windows logon.....

Otherwise there's always LogonStudio (yuck...)
