Ok, here's what you need to do.
You download the splash screen you want to you PC. You rename that file to "welcomehead.96.png"

You then connect your PPC Phone to your PC via active sync. You then copy the file you downloaded to "My Documents" on your phone.

You then use Resco File Explorer to navigate to the file you had just put on your phone.

You copy or cut. You then navigate to the /windows directory on your phone, and do a paste.

You will get a message to confirm you want to replace "welcomehead.96.png" you click on ok.

Soft reset the phone and see the new splash screen.

The file is in the /windows directory.

I made some splash screens, they are pretty simple now, but as I get better with Photoshop I will be making better ones. ALl the ones I made you can grab from here: http://comics.erichss.com/PPC/SplashSceens/

Here are a few I have done:

THis one is set as my current splash screen.
