When Windows XP was launched, just like Vista, its new interface was trumpeted as the latest in User Interface technology! But over the years, we have gotten so acclimatised to XP's looks that it has started to look dated and boring!
Here's a nice way to make your XPerience different:
Stardock BootSkin is a program that allows users to change their Windows XP boot screens.
Unlike other programs that can change the Windows XP boot screens, BootSkin does so in a safe manner. It doesn't patch the Windows XP kernel. Nor does it require the user to download replacement Windows XP kernels to do so.
Boot screens that use BootSkin are typically under 20K compared to other boot screen programs whose files are over 2 MEGABYTES.
And best of all, BootSkin is free!
You can also customize your Bootskin by creating your own! There are tutorials on how to do the same
here.
System Requirements:
* Windows XP
