Default Windows Galaxy???

Hello all, i got my current comp about 4 years ago when i was 11. Back then i didnt know nothing about computers or OS at all, so when the computer was booting up and 'Windows Galaxy' popped up i thought nothing off it? But what is it, its looks exactly the same as Xp and everything else tells me im running Xp, so why do i get a picture of a solar system and Windows Galaxy come up when its starting?

Perhaps the logon screen was changed?

yeah try posting a picture, but because it comes up before windows is loaded, you'll have to take the picture with a camera

My guess would be that the boot screen was changed, probably using Bootskin. I'm not aware of any special windows version called Windows Galaxy anyway.
