Well after messing with this a bit I am done I think hehe not my current animated startup image... but either way thought I would share..
Place image in windows dir
Gota edit registry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\StartupAnimation]
edit GIFFile value string to what ever you named the startup animation file above.. save and reboot
Thanks to col for your help
on registry setting.
edit: tried to add the attachment for some reason it keeps site keeps converting it to jpeg, think it has something to do with file size limit. You can right click on image and save as, like 4door said.
Also gota give credit to EvilTex over at swishzone.
