If you would like to change your boot up screen follow the directions below.

These instructions assume that you have a place to download the boot screen from the net.

1. Backup (copy) the file %windir%\system32\ntoskrnl.exe

2. Download the .zip to your computer

3. Extract ntoskrnl.exe to a directory other than %windir%\system32 (most likely C:\windows\system32)
