Sincerely Yours Truly, Marek (Mark) Stanicki for Edmonton Alberta, Canada Hi Mark, I used this with Win98, SE should be the same. These Logo screens are simple windows bitmap files (.bmp) with the following names: Logo.sys = Start up Screen. This file is in IO.sys but if Windows sees it in the root it will load it instead. Logow.sys = Please wait while your computer shuts down. In the Windows folder. Logos.sys = It's now safe to turn off your computer.in the Windows folder. You can use any graphic file as long as you save it as a 320x400x256 windows bitmap. Then simply replace the above files with the new ones. Logo.sys goes in the root.

Win 98 SE Boot Screen
To go with Bills answer, if you google for Windows startup logo tools, you can
find downloads to animate the bitmaps in the same way the Windows startup logo has the rainbow moving across the bottom, they can make it amusing, or quite professional in appearance, I use one called Windows-Stripify.exe -- Adaware http://www.lavasoft.de spybot http://security.kolla.de AVG free antivirus http://www.grisoft.com Panda online AntiVirus scan http://www.pandasoftware.com/ActiveScan/ Catalog of removal tools http://www.pandasoftware.com/download/utilities/ Blocking Unwanted Parasites with a Hosts file http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm links provided as a courtesy, read all instructions on the pages before use Grateful thanks to the authors/webmasters "Bill Watt" wrote in message ... | On Wed, 30 Jun 2004 14:30:01 -0700, "Marek Stanicki" | wrote: | | Hi, | | I'm Marek (Mark) from Edmonton Alberta, Canada.
