What am I supposed to do on a slow weekend like this? There’s nearly no news anywhere, so I thought I’d create some for all the people with nothing to do out there J they might as well get to tweaking ;) I’m truly disappointed in what I came up with when searching for how to do this! Also a lot of the data out there was made incompatible when SP1 was released. This one will work with either AND work with SP2!

After showing you guys how to tweak every last bit of performance out of your installation of windows XP there's some personalization tweaks that you're going to want to do. The first part I'm going to cover is making a custom startup screen. There are a number of shareware applications like StyleXP or bootxp that will do this for you ThemeXP even has a ton for you to download. I don't want to use shareware applications nor did I find anybody else's instructions adequate (That I found sitting atop google at least). What am I going to do if I want a truly custom boot screen AND don't want to use an annoying shareware application?
