you can change the startup screen...and shutdown screen...and wallpaper...but not much else I think...

however, if you buy JAFO a Porsche (since he missed out), he may be able to make you something similar out of lightstep and desktopX or something...

Actually, you can change the Win2000 logon screen. It requires writing what is refered to as a gina dll (MSGina.dll). Not a trivial endeavor. If anybody wants to take this on (no aafus...not you) here's a good starting point. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/security/security/building_and_testing_a_gina_dll.asp
