Eliminating the Startup Screen

In a recent tip we said that you can eliminate the startup screen by renaming winnt.bmp and winnt256.bmp files to winnt.old and winnt256.old. You can also use your own BMP files by naming them winnt.bmp and winnt256.bmp. You can also use RegEdit to change the name of the file you want to use as a startup screen.

As usual, we must warn you that messing with the Registry can cause you some real headaches if you make a mistake. With that in mind, follow the procedure listed here very carefully.

Click Start, Run and type in

RegEdit

Now click OK or press Enter. Navigate to HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop

In the right pane locate Wallpaper and double-click it to open the Edit String dialog box. The current value is most likely Default. Change it to the BMP file you want to use and click OK. Now choose Registry, Exit to close RegEdit. Restart the computer and your new startup screen will appear.

If you don't want a startup screen, just delete Default in the Edit String dialog box and click OK. Now close RegEdit as described.
