[Tutorial] How to change Windows XP Start-up Screen

I DO NOT TAKE CREDIT FOR THIS TUTORIAL!

TuneUp Utilities is one of the best system optimization suite for Windows. It provides various options to tweak your system. It also provides options to change Windows theme, boot screen, login screen and icons.

Here is a step-by-step procedure to change or create new boot screen in Windows XP and Vista using TuneUp Utilities:

1. First download and install TuneUp Utilities from the following link:

Download TuneUp America - TuneUp Utilities 2009

You can either purchase the full version or download 30 days trial version. After installation, run it from desktop or from Programs menu or by right-clicking on My computer icon and select "TuneUp Utilities".

2. Now click on Customize Windows -> TuneUp Styler
