Screen Booty has fixed several bugs and removed the Progress bar XP feature due to conflicts with the color distortion. Now the screens will no longer be distorted.

This is due to the latest update from Microsoft.




"Frustrated on installing boot screens? Are you sick and tired of downloading huge sized ones just to get both versions? Are you makers out there tired of making a Service Pack 1 boot screen as well as the normal one? Not any more..."

Customizing the Windows 2000 Startup Screen

These directions and screenshots are based on using Screen Booty on Windows 2000.

  1. Start Screen Booty by double-clicking on the Screen Booty shortcut on the desktop, as shown:

    Screen Booty starts by displaying the main screen as shown:

    The screen has two parts - left and right. The left side of the screen contains three small preview screens which are "Body Screen" which is the top screen, " Process Boxes" being the center screen, and the "Login Boxes" is the bottom screen. You can use Screen Booty to change some or all of the screens.

    The right side of the screen displays a larger copy of each of the smaller screens on the left. The right side of the screen always shows the current screen - the screen that you can customize.


  2. Click each of the small screens on the left side of the Screen Booty screen. The larger copy of the screen on the right side of the display changes to match the screen you click on the left. 
     
  3. Click the top screen on the left - the one marked Process Boxes as shown:

  4. Click the Edit button (shown below) on the Toolbar to edit the startup screen:

    Screen Booty displays the Image Editor window.
     

  5. Click the Text button (see below) the Image Editor's Toolbar:


     

  6. Move the pointer, with your mouse, to just above the Windows logo as shown:

    The pointer changes from an arrow to an "i" bar (a bar that looks like the capital letter "i").
     

  7. Click the mouse button to display the Edit Text Label window (see below). The Edit Text Window allows you to add text to the image that's currently on the screen:


  8. Delete the text that appears in the window by pressing the DEL (delete) key on your keyboard.
     
  9. Type the word ScreenBooty - the screen should look like the one shown:


  10. Click Ok to add the text to the startup screen.


  11. Move the text to the center of the screen:

  12.  
    1. Move the mouse pointer over the text - the pointer changes to an arrow with a small rectangle below it as shown:


       

    2. Click the mouse button (but do not let go of the button), and drag (move the mouse) to reposition the text. Release the mouse button to 'drop' the text where you want it to appear.
       
  13. Click Ok, then click Yes to save the changes:

    The Image Editor Window closes and returns you to the main Screen Booty screen. The current screen changes, after a short time, to include the text you just added.
     

  14. Install the changed startup screen by selecting File, then Install from the menu at the top of the Screen Booty screen:


     

  15. Click Yes:

  16. Install the Startup screen using the selection box that pops-up, as shown:


     

  17. Click Ok to install the new startup screen.
     
  18. Screen Booty asks for the name of the New Boot Logo using the dialog box shown:



    Screen Booty uses the name to create a new entry in the system's Boot Menu. The Boot Menu is a special menu that appears just before Windows 2000 starts. The Boot Menu lets you select from one or more options before you start Windows 2000. Screen Booty will use the name to create a new option in the Boot Menu - so use a name that's meaningful to you.

    Note: If you do not normally see a boot menu when you start Windows 2000, your system will behave as usual. However, if you normally see a boot menu when you start Windows 2000 then you'll see a new entry in the menu having the name you enter in this step.

     
  19. Screen Booty confirms that it installed the changes - click Ok.
     
  20. Close Screen Booty by selecting File, then Exit from the menu.
     
  21. Restart Windows 2000 to see how the text you added looks:

The following screenshot shows what Windows 2000 looks like when it starts up:


Restoring the Startup Screen to the Default Setting
