Sorry about the confusion. The pictures shows up at logon
and dhutdown. I already had my view set to see ALL files.
I expanded my search to LOGO*.* and got 23 files. some of
them are gifs, but none of the gifs are that picture.
I'll try some of the other suggestions aand get back.
Thanks

The two shutdown pictures are logos.sys and logow.sys -
but you have now
confused me by saying that you had a logo.sys, and that
the unwanted picture
is in your startup, rather than your shutdown
Which is it?
It may be that the file is hidden - check that you have
your Folder Options
set so that you can view both Hidden files/folders and
System Files/folders.

I meant "logo.sys"

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?

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?
