We want our box to look as slick as possible right? Thanks to a new bootscreen, hiding my desktop icons etc, i came a long shot.

But for me there was always one problem: how do i get rid of those annoying windows flying over telling me useless info like "loading personal settings" etc. I don't want people to find out it's "just a windows app" ;-)
Minlogon, is a replacement for winlogon. It is derailed from XPembedded, which has some other nifty features, but i'll post that when i experimented enough.
Pro's:
-Faster boot time, it saved me 10 seconds. (now in 18 secs from poweron i have mediaportal's splashscreen)
-It doesn't show any crap; bootloader, bang! desktop.
Con's:
-It create's a default user for your pc, so you'll probably have to tweak your shell again. (my htpc is single user anyways)
Which reminds me of SHELL:

Download minlogon @ http://test.crimsonstain.net/EWF.zip
1. Run .reg
2. Replace winlogon with minlogon (rename minlogon to winlogon)
Works like a charm for me, but there's no guarantee it won't screw up your windows ok? (i used xp pro US)
