Look in the c:\ directory for the files
logo.sys
logos.sys
logow.sys

these three are the files that appear as screens at start and shutdown.
Normally, they are included in one of the system files, but if the file is
present, it takes precedence, and is shown instead the system file copy.


rename any of the above found to (name).OLD, and the relevant screen will
revert to the standard one.

A picture of a car brake cylinder mysteriously shows up on
my desktop just before my system shuts down. Don;t know
where it came from (although hubby is a car junky surfing
internet for car pictures - but he swears he didn't
download it) or how to find it on my hard drive to delete
it. any ideas?
