Here's what I got going last night. I tried some backgrounds and other color schemes for the boot screen but ended up keeping it simple for now. Two questions, I got rid of the spinning circle graphics but a cursor with a spinning circle still appears right after the welcome screen. Any way to get rid of it? Also, the boot animation takes a few seconds to appear is that normal? Sucks that the BIOS part of the boot takes the longest.

i have the same issue has you the small spining circle and mouse cursor after right after welcome screen, i got rid of the cursors and pointers everywhere else except for that part.

does anyone have a fix for this?

I also can not get the Windows 7 Boot Updater, too work properly, kepps giving me lots of errors when i try to run it, I'm using windows 7 professional.

ill post video soon.

okay i figured out the part about the windows boot loader not working, after hours of trila an error and research, i bought a new mother board that uses a UEFI bios and this is not compatible with windows boot loader.

on my way now to buy a new mother board and ill keep yall posted.

You could I guess... But the main point of shelling is to keep windows explorer from loading or showing... So it sounds like you need to just remove branding, let windows load, and make explorer load hyper spin on startup

yea i was afraid that was gonna be the answer. i was kinda hoping there was a way to do it and still keep explorer not running... :(

Just throwing this out as an idea have you tried downloading a 3rd party slide show program or even using vlc player and putting that with the hyper spin.exe to start up and see what monitor it pics

Yeah thanks, I better subscribe to this thread for future reference. Hopefully I'll finish my cab before Win8 or 9 becomes the OS of choice!

Maybe my hint is usefull, maybe not...

Replacing the Windows shell via registry, accept files .com, .exe and .bat

batch files is usefull to load a joytokey for example, after hyperspin.exe

And, Hyperspin have a option to launch a program on exit (ohhh), launching explorer.exe on quit, is usefull too

How would you go about loading xpadder with this setup? Seems like it isn't loading for me

You can load whatever you like. If it doesn't load start explorer and try again.

I will have to give this a shot. I am in the process of moving from XP to Windows 7 64 (faster CPU as well) spring Cleaning.

Question for those that have already shelled their OS.

1. Did anyone create a new user account separate from your own? This way any changes to the OS can be done by password protected account?

2. Once the Desktop (explorer.exe) is substituted with Hyperspin-fe did anyone stop background services (WIFI, Internet adapter, SQL Express etc) for the new user?

3. Anyone use scripts that can handle these changes? NetStop

4. Are they any BIOS settings that can improve Boot up?

Thanks
