At this point we've figured out how to completely get rid of the startup video and sound and replace that with default images.
That was done with quksilver's post here:

It may have been originally some where else but that is the first time I saw it.
The startup option where you delete the entire value displays three images:
Mystery Image (This may also be called ms_splash.png but in a different location)
/windows/ms_splash.png
/windows/carrier_splash.png
I have a few questions. The first image displayed is not ms_splash.png unless it is somewhere different as I have replaced that file and confirmed that it is indeed different. So I'm wondering where that image is and if we can somehow manipulate it.
Second, I'd like to not just remove the startup animation but change it entirely if that could ever be a possibility
Third, I'd like to be able to bring the sound back in if we can't change the animation. Manipulating the sound isn't hard as it's just a matter of changing start.wav to something else, same with the shutdown sound.
If this is making any sense let me know if you guys have any ideas, if it isn't I'll clarify, I can also post the details of the posts that I have read if that helps pull it all together.
