What would be cool would be an ability to use a custom animation with an alphachannel, so it would merge seamlessly with the background color just like the icons.
 
Hmm I think ill post this at winxp official newsgroup.

I haven't tried this on XP, but it works in Win2k.
 
Start | Run \ mmc.exe
 
Console | Add/Remove Snap-in.
 
Add. Select "Group Policy". Click Add, then Finish. Click Close. Click OK.
 
Click on the "+" sign next to "Local Computer Policy" in the left column.
 
Click on the "+" next to "Windows Settings" in the "User Configuration" branch.
 
Click on the "+" next to "Internet Explorer Maintenance".
 
Select "Browser User Maintenance" on the left. The options in the right allow you to customize IE, including replacing the logo and animated logo (in both 22x22 and 38x38 pixel formats). To make the animated .BMP log, there is an free .exe file somewhere on MS's web site that will combine multiple .BMP's into an animated BMP.
 
Enjoy.
