One of the new feature in Windows XP is the login screen. When it first came out, it dazzled everyone!
But after a few years, some might get bored of the Windows XP default login screen. How would you like to change your boring default Windows login screen to a flash based one?
FrontMotion Login is the next generation logon interface for Windows NT, 2000 and Windows XP. It goes beyond the normal Microsoft Windows logon and offers more interactivity and functionality through the use of Macromedia Flash and custom logon implementation (gina). No DLL hacking is needed and no system files are replaced.
It’s FREE for personal use and easy to install. Just download, install and the configuration is at your Control Panel. You can change the FrontMotion Login interface theme from Control Panel -> FrontMotion Login.
FrontMotion Login does not use up any memory or CPU resources. Flash files are dynamically loaded when they are displayed and unloaded when they are not shown. If FrontMotion Login is not working for you, it crashes and etc.. You can bypass it by pressing and holding the SHIFT key about the time the Windows startup screen disappears and around the time the mouse is revealed on the screen. It will give you the normal Windows login screen.
Instead of using the themes provided, you can also create your own login screen theme. Refer to this page for instruction on how to create your own FrontMotion Login theme.
If you want to temporarily disable FrontMotion Login but don’t want to uninstall it, you can simply uncheck “Use FMLogin (requires reboot) from the Advanced tab.
