HOW TO CHANGE BOOT LOGO IN WINDOWS 10

HOW TO CHANGE BOOT LOGO IN WINDOWS 10

written by Saad Sajid

Today, I am going to share with you a tutorial which will allow you to change the boot logo of Windows 10 and replace it with some custom logo. This is a process during which Windows is loading the required system files to get the OS up and running. Swapping this boot logo with a custom image of your choice isn’t a new concept, and there have been tons of tools available for the purpose for pretty much every version of Windows so far. However, most of these existing tools don’t yet support Windows 10. You can replace the default boot logo of Windows quickly and easily.

Disclaimer: 

As all computer are different, and the software on them is also different. I will NOT take responsibility if you cause damage or loss data. Do it at your own risk.
You need to download some programs.
  1. Restorator (Download from Here) and Install it.
  2. Signer Download for 32 bit and 64 bit. Don’t Install it.
  3. 7 zip (Download from here) and Install it.

Procedure:

Open File Explorer and go to C:>>Windows>>Boot>>Resources. Here you will see the bootres.dllfile. This file is responsible Boot logo. Copy this file by pressing CTRL+C and paste on Desktop pressing CTRL+V. Make Backup of a bootres.dll file in safe place.

Open Restorator. If you are using the trial version, wait 10 seconds. Click on File>>Open  bootress.dll on Desktop that you paste now.

Double-click on RCData and you will see a file ‘1’. Right-click on ‘1’ click on select Extract…>Extract as>Extract as… and give name RCData_1.win and select all files in Save as type.

Right-click on RCData_1.win file that you created select 7-Zip>Extract to “RCData_1\”. You will see a new folder with RCData_1 name, open it here you”ll will see all default Windows 10 Boot logos (6 different sizes) that your system is using.

Make New Boot logos

  • Make new boot logos and save them on Desktop. Make sure that your images have same properties  as default boot logos (Size and Format Type should be same). To check the properties, right-click on that image and select Properties.
  • Right-click on RCData_1.win on Desktop and select 7-zip>>Open Archive. Now select all new logos and simply drag into RCData_1.win folder. Click OK if you see Confirm File Copy pop-up.
  • Open Restorator and right-click on ‘1’ file and select Assign…>>Assign to… and open RCData_1.winfile from Desktop. Click on File>>Save in Restorator in top-left corner and exit the it.
  • Open File Explorer, go to Desktop and click on File>Open Command Prompt>Open Command Prompt as Administrator. Type following code:
For 32 bit,
signer32.exe /sign sign bootres.dll
For 64 bit,
signer64.exe /sign sign bootres.dll
and hit enter. Click Yes in Security pop-up.

  • Last step, copy bootres.dll file from Desktop and paste it in C:>>Windows>>Boot>>Resources and click on Replace the file in the destination. Now restart your PC to check.

    Every step of this procedure can be duplicated except for the signing bootres.dll. Whether signer.exe, or signer64.exe, for 64bit systems is used, it does not bring up any certificate to install or perform the actual signing. It only brings up the following - and only the following - in command prompt, "C:\Users\Joseph\Desktop\boot>signer64.exe/sign sign bootres.dll
    signer Copyright (C) 2011 Jeffrey Bush

    That is all - It goes no further. What can be done to make the signer file work?

Good Regulations = Easy Taxes

Good Regulations = Easy Taxes It should only take you 5 minutes to file your taxes. It  takes the average American 13 hours . Billion dollar corporations and anti-government anti-tax crusaders work tirelessly to ensure we spend more money and time on taxes than we need to. WTF. The government knows a lot about you. They know how much you make, who paid you, and how much you should be paying in taxes. Through an optional system called “return-free filing,” the IRS could provide you with a pre-filled tax return the average American would review for 5 minutes and approve. Instead, America is the only rich country that makes its citizens gather forms to file their taxes . Other countries, including Denmark, Chile, Sweden, and Spain, make “return-free filing” available to their people . In  Estonia (of all places), 95% of taxpayers handle their taxes online and most pay with just one click . The benefit (time savings) is straight-forward and there ...

Microsoft assures fans Paint isn't going anywhere

Microsoft assures fans Paint isn't going anywhere . By Saad Sajid Microsoft recently released a list of “Features that are removed or deprecated in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update” in which Paint was listed under the ‘Deprecated’ category. All those apps/features that are “not in active development and might be removed in future releases” are included in the list. The company’s decision to add Paint app ‘Deprecated’ category was not surprising given the fact that Microsoft in April introduced the new Paint 3D with the Windows 10 Creators Update. Microsoft plans to kill off good-old Paint However, the reports that the good-old Paint might be killed off after 32 years of its existence had triggered a strong reaction from fans on social media. Shortly after the reports emerged, Microsoft released a blog, reassuring diehard Paint fans that the app is not going anywhere anytime soon. “Today, we’ve seen an incredible outpouring of support and nostalgia...
