| 731853 | 2008-12-22 23:53:00 | Is there any way to do this? I just want a plain black screen when Windows boots, with no logo or little loading-widget thingy? Because this is a minimal installation I'd rather not install any 3rd party tools to do this if possible?? :) |

| 731854 | 2008-12-23 00:02:00 | Try this (www.metacafe.com) Start/run, type msconfig, boot.ini tab / tick noguiboot, reboot Do it at your own risk |

| 731856 | 2008-12-23 00:47:00 | Cool - msconfig option worked like a charm. Now what about removing the XP Welcome screen? I don't mean disabling it via control userpasswords2 either - I mean just having a plain black screen. I know 3rd party tools like Logon Studio can do it, but there must be a registry hack or something?? |

| 731858 | 2008-12-23 01:01:00 | You can set it to classic logon and then have it log on automatically...... | jwil1 (65) | ||
| 731859 | 2008-12-23 01:02:00 | This ? (www.petri.co.il) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 731860 | 2008-12-23 01:07:00 | You said its a minimal install. If you are installing from scratch then have a look at nlite (google it) - Its a great tool - You can remove lots of rubbish from windows and set it to behave the way you want (auto login etc) dont display windows login screens etc etc. I really recommend it. But as I said it would need to be a clean install you are planning. |

| 731861 | 2008-12-23 01:47:00 | Awesome - thanks all. Was using nLite already - now have an XP Pro SP3 install disc weighing in at 193Mb :D :thumbs: |
