Login Screens and Login-Studiothingamajig

Wednesday, February 11, 2004 by WerelWulf | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Hey all, I was wondering about changing my login screen, but in question of the toolset of programs used to do it. I've done it once before on my WinXP comp, and it require any studio or 3rd party software, it was an exe that I replaced (after carefully backing up the original copy) over a system one, from reading around, suggesting that I've altered the kernel. Now, from reading around, that is a risky way of doing it, and service packs can alter if they work or not, but are they still supported? I'd like to change my login screen, but not with the song and dance of software changing the display. (I like how the exe method doesn't really add an extra process to the computer, but just replaces it, where with this, and windows blinds, for example, covers over anything and takes a bunch of RAM I don't have.)

Any responce is welcomed, thanks!

Hmmm...... on my CPU right now with WindowBlinds, DesktopX, Sysmetrix, LogonStudio, VirtualPC, Norton's Firewall, Norton's Antivirus, Earthlink Accelerator, Earthlink Taskbar and Internet Explorer running....I'm only using 230MB RAM of 3486MB (Physical and Virtual) and 2% of my CPU (3.06Ghz) and I think if I read right all the Stardock apps together are only using 6244K (6.1K)...not too resource hungry

LogonStudio isn't even running at the moment, since I'm already logged on to the computer.
WindowBlinds = 2,640k
Do you really consider that a "bunch of RAM"?

Replacing a system file with one that has been changed/alterted (hacked) can damage a PC's health, ie: It May Not Work

Wel that 2,***kb seems all right. I was just picky with under 200megs of RAM and a 400mhz processor, I try to have minimal things running. Thanks!
