Get it here http://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?searchtext=mame&sort=updatedate&order=Descending&library=32.

You need BootSkin to use it, which can be found here http://www.stardock.com/products/bootskin/.

Hmm I'm pretty sure that this can be done - I thibnk I've had it like that in the past, but need to check if it was with XP. You definately need to have only 1 registered user on the pc (apart from guest account), and there must be no password set (different from autologing on with a supplied pw via TweakXP) and the pc must be part of a Workgroup not a Domain... But that may still show "loading preferences" etc..., can't remember....will check...

45 secs sounds quite long if its a modern machine, especially if you are runing Minwah as the shell. Usually delays are network (logging on/connecting drives), hardware (some scsi/additional ata controllers are notorious for adding 10 secs) or loading drivers for not-present hardware. Also you can disable about 70% of services which helps loads - especially some network ones like "Workstation".

Apologies for off topic. My bootscreen: :P (can't remeber where its from)
