Friends of a french forum have found a easy way to modify the boot logo in W2k, without desactivave the system files protection... It's easier and faster !!! And it's work in any W2k version (no SP, SP1 and SP2). 1-Modify th NTOSKRNL.exe as usual with Ressource Hacker...Save the file as "NTOSCHK.EXE". 2-Place it in the folder "c:\Winnt\System32\", leave the original NTOSKRNL.EXE in the Sysytem32 folder... 3-Open the "boot.ini" file (it's in c:\boot.ini, if it don't appear, you have to activate the option "display the protected system files" in the "folder options" of your explorer.). 4-Add the command line at the "boot.ini": (after ".../fastdetect"), /KERNEL=NTOSCHK.EXE It must look like this (french version): multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professionnel" /fastdetect /KERNEL=NTOSCHK.EXE 5-And reboot... HO HO !!!!!!!!!!!! Now anytime you want modify your logo You just overwrites the "NTOSCHK.EXE" in the system32 folder. This stuff is use by professionnals, when they want a customize the logo for a big company...and other stuff more usefull, off course ! It's easy, faster and safer... Enjoy!
