Logos for Login Screen v1.3

Credit goes to PeterRollar for coming up with the technique and giving me the idea to do this.

Special thanks to Dorlan2001 and richluk for providing the basebrd.dll's for their operating systems.


IMPORTANT I still need the basebrd.dll files for:
- Windows 8 Enterprise 32/64 bit
- Windows 8.1 32 bit
- Windows 8.1 Enterprise 8.1 32/64 bit.

If you use one of those operating systems in the correct bit, find the file in C:, Windows, then Branding and then Basebrd and upload the .dll there to Sta.sh. Post a link to it in the comments below and tell me what your computer OS and bit is.

Thanks!

Known Issues

• [Win 8/8.1 32/64 bit] Replacing the original basebrd.dll can cause Windows to deactivate. You can still use almost all Windows features as far as I can tell, but there will be an OS stamp in the lower-right hand corner of your desktop. You can fix this by restoring the original .dll file and then activating windows. You do NOT need to re-enter an activation code.
  
  There is no know way currently to prevent this from happening, if you have an idea on how to possibly solve it I'd love to hear it.
