Here is another interesting stuff for Windows XP users, which can bring Windows 7 CAD screen to XP. If you don't have any idea about CAD screen, its the screen which is displayed once you press Ctrl+Alt+Del keys together in Windows.

Simply download following RAR file, extract it using 7-Zip or WinRAR and run "Setup.exe" file:
It'll install the CAD screen which can be enjoyed by pressing "Ctrl+Alt+Del" keys any time.

there is a slight problem with ur app.
opening the "task manager" from taskbar (ryt click) brings up the CAD screen
which needs to be just starting the task manager itself. :P

It switched out the taskmgr.exe in registry is why it runs the cad2009.exe..
here is the registry method in my Setup program it switches the taskmgr.exe to run my cad2009.exe
anytime you try to open taskmgr.exe it will run my cad2009.exe if this code is in your registry.
the taskbar menu when you click Task Manager, the shell calls to C:\WINDOWS\system32\taskmgr.exe
There is really no way to bypass that issue. that is why the taskmgr.exe in my CAD 2009 EDITION Folder is named taskmanager.exe <-- using a different name so it doesn't run the cad2009.exe
but a greate way of tweaking your system, and it tricks people pretty well.. on youtube alot of people thought I had vista running.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\taskmgr.exe", "Debugger", winpath & "\CAD 2009 EDITION\cad2009.exe"

I installed this program and I set the XP Logon screen to the welcome screen, and then I tried to uninstall it, but the link was removed, so I deleted the folder and now the taskmanager won't open up! Please help! Also the icon is in the system32 folder but I get this wierd message when I try to open it.
B.T.W. I set it back to classic logon.

Thanks I installed it and took the taskmanager.exe and placed it in my system32 file, then I uninstalled CAD 2009, and it still worked.
Thanks
