The name of the file would have been logo.sys and the location the root of
C:\. No other name or location works.

I beg to differ; because I have put a sulogo.sys into the windowsME
instaliation I used for a short time, and it does work as the start up
screen. Maybe you are talking about a Win9x install? I remember it quite
well; because at the time I was a little miffed that I could not use all the
logo.sys files I had accumilated from win95-win98SE in my WindowsME machine.
It took me quite some searching to find out that Microsoft had changed it
for WinME to sulogo.sys. One of the first things I tried was to do a system
file search for logo.sys, and when I didn't find it I figured they had done
the same as in Win98SE and hidden it inside a .dll and that simply putting a
logo.sys into the proper folder would overide the default and then removing
it would allow it to resume to the default logo.sys
I was also around that same time however playing about with a free
copy of Win2K I had received at the Feb17th launch of Win2K in Columbus,
Ohio in Feburary 2000, the same one at which I got a low of SWAG (Software
and Gifts) including a Win2K T-Shirt shrink wrapped to look like a flying
window logo, which I still have unopened. Microsoft got even more shall I
say sneeky with WinXP by hiding the start up screen inside ntoskrnl.exe and
you need to use a resorce editor (I reommend res hacker because it is not
only an adaquate one but free) to change it.
As I said earler I can only guess you are talking about a Win9x
machine and logo.sys; because any compent MVP or better yet a MCP (Microsoft
Certified Professional - because one has to test to be a MCP; but a MVP is
just an elected cudos type of honor) will tell you the same info I have
about sulogo.sys and WinME.

hmmm, ok, I do however remember for the short time I used my WinME,
that I changed the boot up screen by placing a customized sulogo.sys
in a certain folder, the name of which is locked up in having a
senior moment right now s; but which I have stored somewhere in my
archives of help snippets.
