Do you mean from the screen saver? When I resume from hibernation/sleep, I just start back at the desktop.

I guess that Vista would use the same Aurora boot screen as it would from the resume from sleep. Did you already change your boot screen and still see the Aurora at resume from sleep? Do you have your sleep option set for resume display at logon screen?

 | Re: Boot screen right now ive got a custom boot screen looks great when turning on first time, but when i close the lid it goes to sleep/hibernate then when i reopen it, it resumes windows and shows the Aura screen saying "resuming windows" then after that loads to desktop, just not sure where that aura screen is comming from so i can change it.
( 9 mins later) Editing post, becasue I attempted to do the same thing to the winresume.exe.mui file by using a copy of the boot screen ive got working only renamed to match, closed lid, resumed, same thing, got the Aura screen saying "resuming windows" with the green bar on the bottom
