re: Question about 'Replace the Ugly Startup and Shutdown Screens' Wednesday, February 13, 2002 at 3:22 pm Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Jon Payne (2 messages posted) I have tried 2 types registry hack. If you're talking about the one which kills windows file protection it's not a good idea.....one virus/registry mistake/bad sector might mean a wipe and reinstall..... if it's the one which misdirects windows to a fake ntoskrnl.exe then i found it didn't work on Win2k build 2195.... Please tell me i'm wrong those startup screens really are pants...... On Tuesday, October 23, 2001 at 10:28 am, Larry_Lawrence wrote: >Go to site called www.littlewhitedog.com.
