sorry, Noel. Renaming "logo,sys" did not work. That was
the only file you mentioned that I saw in C:\. This
picture comes on right before the desktop loads. Any more
ideas?


-----Original Message-----
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?
