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.

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?

I don't have a individual logon - do you mean the WinME
logo?

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
