How do I get my bootscreen upside down?
abispac:
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.

Most of the changes you would be looking to make by shelling can be done within the current XP settings and don't require a shell. Keeping XP as is has a lot of benefits that are made more difficult to access by shelling IMO. Changing boot screens, removing cursors, and direct launch to a FE are all possible without shelling. I used to shell all the time when I was using gamelauncher back in '04 but once I stopped and just started making adjustments to the XP environment I haven't looked back.

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!
