Jeff,

To address your original question before the thread moved onto
Autologon issues. . .
 
You can eliminate the Windows XP splash screen --
http://msdn.microsoft.com/embedded/community/tips/xp/custmize/default.aspx

Also, you can eliminate the logon progress status display by registry
tweak --[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system]
"DisableStatusMessages"=dword:00000001

I believe that I originally found this information by searching the XP
Embedded newsgroup for "Logon".

The only thing I haven't been able to eliminate is the "blue
background with mouse pointer" shown before the user profile kicks in
to get my desired desktop (custom shell) of "black background with no
mouse pointer".

HTH, Roy
