Good morning, when I power on is there a way to remove the winme
image that flashes me.


To do this requires your editing the hidden system file msdos.sys which is
located in the root of C:\. First you need to enable the viewing of
hidden system files in Explorer (Tools | Folder Options | View). Next
locate the file using Explorer, right click, select properties and uncheck
the box "Read-only". Now open msdos.sys with a text editor, notepad will
do fine, and add the line
Logo=0
to the end of the section [Options]
Save the file and then set the file to being read-only again by checking
the box on the properties sheet.

Reboot and you should no longer see the Win Me splash screen.

Also, is there a difference between background or wallpaper?
