lou, there's a Bootskin tutorial around here somewhere, I know you need to use a certain program that comes with some Stardock product, I forget which one, but it saves in a weird format, 8 bit? I think.. but it can't be done by normal means, for example, Photoshop.. unfortunately
Search doesn't work, and I see that tutorial all the time, now when I WANT to see it, I can't find it.
LogonStudio for the logons, as Doc said.
