Thought it would be kinda cool to put a picture there or something. Anyone knows?

Yes, I’m pretty sure it’s possible. I do this kind of thing to place my own icon in place of the default Director or Flash executables’. I actually found the exact place you would find this image that you want to change, but I would recommend you don’t actually do it. I wouldn’t try it myself, since I think that Adobe would not appreciate it, and I’d be afraid of what could happen. The program might fail to open if it runs a check of the art file. The program might not update properly, because it MIGHT believe your Photoshop to be an illegal copy. I personally wouldn’t risk it to make it look different. You could test it out though. **Save yourself a backup of the file in question.**

You need Resource Hacker (http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/). After you extract the ZIP to any location you want, open PSArt.dll (found in the Photoshop CS2 directory) in Resource Hacker, and go to
PNGF/SPLASHARTFEATHER.PNG/1033. When you select that 1033 and go to "Action/Save resource as a binary file" then you can save it to a PNG filename and open and view/modify. If I’m right, the way you would replace this file is to do "Action/Replace other resource…" I’m also pretty sure you will want to keep using the filename SPLASHARTFEATHER.PNG.

Good luck.
