How would you go about changing your win2k startup screen =D and is there a program that can convert a picture to the format that is needed... if any?

I'm not aware of any program that does that for you on Win2k. But VirtualPlastic has all the info you need in regards to customizing your computer.

There's a registry setting for altering the screen...I'm in XP now so I'll have to do some digging...

029 » Displaying Your Company Logo (or other bitmap) during logon.
Design an appropriate bitmap and place it in your NT directory as YourLogoName.BMP. Use 8.3 naming convention.

Edit: HKEY_USERS \.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop

Double click or Add Value REG_SZ of Wallpaper and set it to the full path to YourLogoName.BMP.
Double click or Add Value REG_SZ of TileWallpaper. 0 is Don't tile, 1 is tile.
Double click or Add Value REG_SZ of WallpaperStyle. 0 is normal, 2 is stretch to fill the screen (which is mutually exclusive with TileWallpaper = 1).
If you use a normal, not tiled logo, you can position it by adding the following REG_SZ values:
WallpaperOriginX set to the number of pixels from the left hand edge of the screen.
WallpaperOriginY set to the number of pixels from the top of the screen

Reboot to view your handywork

Found it...wasn't that hard after all....
