Aqua-Soft Forumshi there everyone i was wondering what file i have to edit to change the shutdown screen and the startup screens....(maybe the loading part as well)...also will the fonts used in each part be easy to change as well?
[help]what file to edit to change startup screen looks
Starkdock's BootSkin and LogonStudio have never failed me.
Might be a good place to start. They're free as well.

cool....is there a way to do that with system file edits....i'd rather keep it all natural to prevent any slowdown
You can ResHack ntoskrnl.exe in systemroot/system32. Get a nice tutorial on that.

I believe these programs actually create a file then do the replace operation for you.
They are not run at startup, so there should be no slowdown.
Technically, it should also be safer as well.
....um are you certain on that gtn?....if you are i'll go for it lol
I haven't used these programs for a while, but here's how I see it:
* Loading and login screens are seen before startup items can be run
* Therefore, the only way these programs can work is by patching/replacing the starup files
* So, there is no reason for these programs to actually run at startup (by that time we've already seen both startup and login screens).
* Finally, if they do run at startup, you will be able to disable them without I'll effects.
Again, I have to say it's safer than trying to patch/replace the startup files yourself.
Remember that these are legit system files, so modifying them yourself can cause trouble if you do it incorrectly.
ok thanks man i'll do it your way then!
