Hi,

I would like to change to change my windows XP boot up. During XP boot up I would like to launch my application which shows a dialog/screen instead of regular Windows XP professional. Is there any way to hide Windows XP boot up and show your customize application dialog/screens?

Solution 1

it seems you can: tacktech[^] and youtube[^]... and I've only searched google... ;)

Then launching your app would need to put a link to it into the start menu, to modify a registry key or... there are several ways to do that, use google.
