View 2 Replies View RelatedCompletely Removing Logon And Logoff Screens And Messages
Jan 15, 2012I am trying to strip Windows 7 of every single screen and message before login... and before shutdown.
So we've got:
- Boot sequence
- Logon screen
- Preparation to Logon
- Preparation to Shutdown
Boot sequence was easy to completely black out, by using [URL](black background, all messages removed)
Logon screen can be skipped without hacks, just a matter of having no password.
Now I'm left with the Logon ("Preparing your desktop...", "Applying user preferences", "Welcome"... etc.) and the Shutdown ("Shutting down..." etc.) screens and messages.
Is there a way to completely disable both?
If there isn't, I am thinking of a hack: both are made by a background (which you can change with custom graphics by putting them into the OOBE folder and a couple registry keys). Then, there are text messages which are contained somewhere and can be emptied by using ResourceHacker (I found some of them but not all). Finally, somewhere within some exe or dll, there should be the "working" circle of light and the Windows 7 logo, which are superimposed to the custom background. I am attaching a picture for clarity.
Removing Password In Windows 7?
Jan 9, 2011My husband has started up his new windows 7 Toshiba laptop and put a password in. Is there any way in which this can be removed? I think that it must have face recognition, as his password doesn't work for me. Either of us can get into *my* Vista laptop (set up by an 'expert')and we wanted theis to be the same.Most annyoying as I was meant to be organising the internet connection etc while he was out and I have only got as far as making the recovery disks before I left it for 30 minutes and it turned itself off.

I tried removing this computer from the domain but it requires going through UAC.Is there any way to make this computer a Local only PC?The company that sent us the computer is in another country and they say they can send someone over in 6 months which is longer than i can wait.

View 7 Replies View RelatedRemoving Windows 7 Old Partition?
May 21, 2011I do an annual windows reinstall from an iso I made of the windows boot CD when I bought windows 7. I made the iso because it's easier to keep track of files rather than CDs, and whenever I would need to reinstall I would burn the iso to a disc, install from the disc, and throw out the disc once the install was complete. Well tonight I ran out of CDs with a large enough capacity to hold the iso, so I decided to get a bit fancy.
I mounted the iso and ran the setup utility through windows, and had it install a new partition of windows to one of my unused storage drives. The install went well, I restarted, and saw that there was an option to boot from two partitions of windows 7. I eventually figured out which one was the new one, and once desktop loaded up I went into msconfig and removed the old partition from the boot tab.
The problem pops up when I went back to reformat the old partition. It gave me an error stating that it cannot format a system drive. I figure that this is because the old partition is still active somehow even though I removed it from the msconfig boot menu.
Through a bit of googling I got a general idea of what had to be done, so I went into disk management and set the new partition to 'active'. I then restarted and went into BIOS, and switched the disk boot order so that the new partition came before the old partition. My bios did not like this, because it gave me an error about NTLDR missing. So it almost appears that the NTLDR thing isn't on the new partition, but that's just a guesstimation.
Other information:
- Old partition is "disk 0" in disk management
- New partition is "disk 1" in disk management
- I cannot modify or delete any of the system files on the old partition when I'm booted in the new partition.

Removing Print Driver From Windows 7?
Jun 14, 2012I use Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and have a Brother HL-1440 installed which has been working fine. I recently had to go out of town with my laptop that has the brother printer installed, but did not take my printer with me. A friend lended me an HP laser jet 1022n to use since I forgot my printer. Apparently this printer is so old that when I plug the usb cable into my laptop windows 7 doesnt not find a driver for the printer automatically. So, I tried downloading from the hp site and had issues installing the driver.
Lastly, I went to devices and printers > selected Add A Printer > Then add a local printer > Then I select a usb port to connect >I selected what I thought was the correct driver from the list and finished the set up, but when trying to print a test page it would not print. So, I tried adding a printer again and this time selected the correct printer driver with the usb port. So, I am able to print now but when I go devices and printers I notice that it shows the first wrong driver i installed showing as my brother printer. when I look at the properties from right clicking the printer there is a drop down that shows all the drivers i have installed and shows the driver for my brother printer, but when I look back at devices printers it seems to show my brother printer icon named the wrong print driver i installed, basically my brother printer shows with the wrong driver i first installed.
I'm worried that my brother printer wont work now. How can I delete un needed printer drivers that are on my laptop so that only the drivers i need are installed?
