1. does anyone know how to remove in xp the first progress bar that comes up for 2 seconds? (it's not the small one that's part of the boot skin i'm referring to)
2. there's also a brief blue screen that comes up for about 1 second right after the boot skin but before the logon screen. anyone know how to change that screen to black? (i tried modifying the hkey_users\default\control_panel\colors background key to 0 0 0, but it did not work)
