In ME the logo.sys is hardcoded into the IO.SYS (IIRC) - you can use any
(suitably modified) bmp file and rename it to logo.sys, and this will
override the default.
sulogo.sys is the logo that ME uses during the initial Setup phase, and is
not present 'live' in the OS - and can be deleted if it is present.
Perhaps you've forgotten that ME is a Win9x OS??

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.
