XP startup and shutdown screens.

I want to change the Windows startup and shutdown screen for my computer. I know you could do it in win 9.x by just replacing a certain file. Since I upgraded to XP, I don't remember the files for the startup and shutdown screens. Can you tell me please?

ps
(I miss my matrix screens )

 

thanks

 

I'm d/l ing the file as we speak: but now I'm curious: how would you manually edit these screens? there must be a path to follow -something you can edit...
-522.

 

c:\windows\system32\logonui.exe

that is the logon screen. you will need a hex editor like recource hacker to edit it.

 

The boot screens are contained in the ntoskrnl.exe

Cool stuff guys, I think I'll try it. Anyone have any good startups they made or ideas of what to make? I'm not too artistic.
