The BOOTSKIN file extension is employed in identifying the files created by the Stardock Corporation's BootSkin program. The said program enables users to make modifications to the Windows boot screen to one of their own choice such that the screen displays when Windows commences. Unlike programs also capable of changing the Windows boot screens, the BootSkin Pro does the process in a considerably safe manner. It does not need to patch the Windows kernel. It neither requires the user to download a replacement Window kernel in doing so. The boot screens employing the BootSkin Pro are commonly under 20Kb as compared to the other applications for boot screens with files more than 2 megabytes.
