    I find this very funny:
    5. At the command prompt, type "yes" (no quotes). Press Enter to overwrite the original file.
    For those who don't get it, this is a "Do you want to overwrite this file with the new one? [y/N]" type prompt. That is to say, the page is providing instructions on how to follow instructions.

    Ok, I did tried both of those and I don't think your getting what I am saying...
    Please look at the attachments before you say stuff, because I'm not looking for a boot screen, i'm looking for what I attached in my first post...

    Thanks!

    Here is a program that you can use to customize the "Welcome Screen" in Windows XP. I haven't played with it yet, but have heard some good things from a few of my friends who have used it.
