Okay, now the Admin is just doing this to [censored] people off. <_<dirtwarrior wrote:Admin edit: Image removed. Use the BA image uploader. You should know this by now.
Anyhow, assuming this is the Welcome Center that comes up on every boot, then you can edit oobefldr.dll to change the look of the welcome center. It's got some interesting XML schema that controls the layout, as well as a set of bitmaps.

Re: welcome center
No, its a forum rule. This member has been registered for almost a year now and should know the rules by now. It doesn't take 30 seconds to upload images to the BA image uploader.pr0gram the pr0grammer wrote: Okay, now the Admin is just doing this to p**s people off. <_<

Windows Lupus Welcome Center [WLP component]
Overview
Authors
- awergh is guilty for bringing this beauty to life. He did the coding. I only designed the UI.
- This was supposed to be a reproduction of Vista's Welcome Center which eventually ended up looking like that "thing" (screenshot).
- Basically just a thing to replace the old, stupid, boring Welcome.exe.
Two versions
- The first one is the awergh's original vista-like that will probably be used in Windows NT4 Visual Update Project and the second one is this one on the image, which is called Windows Lupus Welcome Center.
Possibilities
User Picture
- In the top right corner you see a frame and an avatar inside. That is actually our implementation of "User Account Picture" from XP or something that should represent the user. The image is 46x46 BMP and it is located in %systemroot%\system32\oobefldr.bmp
System Information
- System Information Tab is on the right side of the big display and it gives some info about the installed OS, Service Pack, RAM and Computer Name.
Get Started with Windows
- Get Started with Windows is the mayor part of the Welcome Center. It will help you tweak your OS, it will help you find more about your PC, it will help you connect to Internet or maybe change a user password, it's almost all you wish to know after you do a fresh install.
Activity Center
- Activity Center is the part where you will find specific info about the modification and OS you've installed. At this moment it is only available in Windows Lupus version. By clicking on What's New icon you will be able to find out more about Windows Lupus Project and its upgrades.
Screenshots

I hope that awergh will edit the post and write something about the version for NT4 (i don't have it) and maybe u'll see some screenshots of it too.
*WLWC will not be available for download separately from WLP project.
NT4 Welcome Center
- There are a few changes, such as add new users instead of change user password.
- I've made it display the CPU speed, couldn't get it to work on 98se (showed 0Mhz).
- The NT4 version goes to the appropriate locations for things, the Add New User goes to musrmgr.exe, not sure how that would effect it if it is running on win2k or something.
