Changing the Windows default theme on startup in Win2k

[pmistry 0]

When the password box is displayed on startup in Windows 2000, it uses the Windows Standard theme, is there any way to change this to another theme? There must be some registry hack.

I don't know any way to apply a theme directly, but you can change the individual colors manually here: "HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Colors". There is a scheme entry under "HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Current", but I don't know if that will override the values in "Colors"...

I'll take a peek, thanks.

Check out the Configuration tool available at http://www.xteq.com/

It does all kinds of neat things, changes default backround colour, the welcome text ect... aswell as the regular Hardware & OS Performance tweaks.
