Stardock BootSkin is a program that allows users to change their Windows 2000 and Windows XP boot screens. Unlike other programs that can change the Windows XP boot screens, BootSkin does so in a safe manner. It doesn't patch the Windows XP kernel. Nor does it require the user to download replacement Windows XP kernels to do so. This has 2 advantages: 1) Boot screens that use BootSkin are typically under 20K compared to other boot screen programs whose files are over 2 MEGABYTES.  2) There is no risk of having your system unable to boot due to a corrupted file or after applying a service pack. And best of all, BootSkin is free for non-commercial use. The download above includes over a dozen custon screens, there are more on the homepage.
