    180*180 in your case. Although, this thread should be (and would be) moved to OT.

    Possibly with 'resource hacker'... I don't have a link handy, but there is a really good guide to altering the boot screen and login screen with it on google somewhere. I didn't try changing the avatar (since I use the classic login screen, so don't use them), but there might be a way :) .

    EDIT: I think this might be the guide. This poster made a few others that is linked somewhere on this site:

    Thanks guys, I hope you have luck with it. Mine worked like a charm following it :). I was amazed seeing all the dialogs and screens that are alterable, once you know where to find them! ;) I'm glad the poster on that site took the time to give such great instructions.
