firstly download resource hacker from here. Then create a batch file with the following content:
@echo off
echo Randomizing boot logo for next boot.....
:loop
set a=C:\WINNT\system32\logos\
set b=%random%
set c=kern1.bmp
set d=%a%%b%%c%
if not exist %d% goto loop
c:\progra~1\reshack\reshac~1.exe -modify C:\WINNT\system32\ntoschk.exe, C:\WINNT\system32\ntoschk.exe, %d%, bitmap, 1,
Now make a shortcut and put it in your startup folder. This batch file assumes that your boot logos are stored in "C:\WINNT\system32\logos\" and named using the following convention: 1kern1.bmp, 2kern1.bmp, 3kern1.bmp..... etc. This program also assumes the location of reshacker.exe is "c:\progra~1\reshack\reshac~1.exe" Lastly you will need to create a copy of ntoskrnl.exe (c:\winnt\system32\ntoskrnl.exe) and name it to ntoschk.exe and put it in c:\winnt\system32\ folder. You will also need to add a line to your boot.ini file (located in C:\). Add "/kernel=ntoschk.exe" to the line associated with windows 2000. the %random% function chooses a random number from 1 to 32000 (or whatever) so its possible to have 32000 boot logos! A nice collection of boot logos can be found here. If you wish to make your own boot logo the .bmp must be 640x480 and 16 colors. if you are running a version of win2k other than pro you will need to change the "1" on the last line of the batch file.
enjoy!
