changing the logos in "system properties"you know how when you go under "system properties" and you see the OEM logo?
there is the Windows logo as well, i was wondering if there was any way to change the windows logo under "system properties"? i just dislike the windows XP logo and want to replace it with the Windows 9.x or windows 2000 logo. Steven Wabik wrote:

If you want to continue, you can download a very good resource editor at: http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker The file you will need to edit is SYSDM.CPL well, thanks for the editor, but for some odd reason its not updating the
file for some reason like it is supposed to. any ideas on how to get it to work?

If you go ther join the forums and you would put this particular query in the Customizing Windows XP forum.I learned pretty much the same thing you are asking at Neowin...http://img3.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?98088ec310.jpg.... where it says Marks Compuer it used to say Sony Computers.

After doing this, when you save the edited file with ResHacker, you may get an ominous warning from Windows about modifying a system file -- select the options that allow you to keep the edited file intact. Once you verify SYSDM.CPL works as you want, put a copy of the edited file in the windows\system32\dllcache directory so Windows File Protection will not overwrite it in the future. You can then restart Cryptographic Services to re-enable Windows File Protection. disabling windows file protection in the way you are telling me to is still
not helping me in editing the file. whenever i edit the file, the modifications never get saved for some reason. if i save the file to the destop the changes get saved, overwise the changes do not. i did put the changed file in the dllcache like u said to, but it is not working. any other ideas? and that warning that u told me about never came up. am i doing something wrong?
