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

Removing WinMe flash
1. enabled viewing. 2. already unchecked. -select properties and uncheck the box "Read-only". Now when I add this do I put a new line log=0 under WinVer or beside [Options] and if [Options] do I just type right beside it? [Options] BootMulti=1 BootGUI=1 AutoScan=1 WinVer=4.90.3000 ; Thanks |

As I said, at the end of the section NOT the end of the line.

Mike, good morning.
I have put this beside [option] and underneath: invalid setting in the msdos file: log=0 is the error I get on startup [Options] BootMulti=1 BootGUI=1 AutoScan=1 WinVer=4.90.3000 ; Do I put it under the semi-colon. By now your probably telling me to shove it in the colon. Thanks |

I'm saying add that is insert the line. Of course I also told you that
the line should contain logo=0 not log=0 but if you want to try using log who am I to day otherwise but then again, if you want it to work then just maybe you might want to first try my suggestion. As to whether you insert the line before or after the line containing the semi colon ( is your choice entirely, it will make no difference. Lines preceded by a semi-colon are treated as comments. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Sean wrote: Mike, good morning.
