This image are used for display on the welcome screeen and the start menu. When image is selected it is converted into a dat file, formatted %domain%+%username%.dat I need a solution on how to convert the bmp image to this DAT format. Success of this project is: 1) determine the conversion type from bmp to that dat fileformat. 2) create a conversion tool in either VC++ or C# that can be used from C# applications.
