Whether you realise it or not, you DO have a logon -
r-click on the taskbar, and select Properties.
Click on the 'Advanced' tab
put a checkmark in the 'Display Logon' box and click OK
now click on the Start button - you should see the option to 'Log Off
Someone'
Take that option, and see what the background reverts to if you ESCape out
of the logon

I don't have a individual logon - do you mean the WinME
logo?
-----Original Message-----
AH - I suspect that your default profile has a background.
Try this
Boot normally - at the logon, use ESC and see what comes
up
If there's no logon, then once booted, log off, and then
ESC from the logon,
and see what comes up.

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