theres a post to complety hide windows 7, wich i recomende better, one of the thing i like  about this hidiing W7 enviroment its the ability to use ananimated image on the bootscreen, that with a bit of imagination you can rotate to your desired  so i can look nice on your cocktail cab. If interested just search for topic Hide windows 7 In this forum.

I've shelled Xp before (got a bartop) without problems.  This was specifically a question regarding the bootscreen because my monitor is rotated (for viewing angle). But, if i can change everything as I have my bartop booting without shelling I'd be up for that, but if I can even see a hint of Xp it will bug me  ;)

Double post.

One other option would be to leave the monitor turned off until the bios screen is finished.
Maybe a timer or turn on  a comport or printer port output after windows loads? Then that output turn on a relay. Relay turn on monitor.
I have often thought about doing that, but what would really be neat is to switch the monitor to some kind of video generator with a picture fed to the monitor, then switch monitor back to computer when windows finishes loading.

I also had an idea like that previously. Some one needs to get on this!
