1. Bootskin
This lets you to change your windows startup image without changing your system files.
Gallery:
Download:
In the download page, you will see three files.
The first regular file may not work with all pcs and can crash your system at startup.
This won't harm your system files it just causes the windows to crash at bootup. (It happened with me)
If this happens uninstall the program by going to safe mode. You will be able to start windows in safe mode.
Try the alternate version named "BootSkin 1.03" in such situations.
If you don't know how to go in "Safe Mode", do not install Bootskin.
