Re: Displaying ascii art at during Windows bootup

The best, easiest, non-destructive way to prevent the bootlogo to come up during
boot time is to edit MSDOS.SYS (it's in C:\) with notepad, scroll all the way to
the bottom of the page and add the line:

Logo=0

This works for both Win95 as for Win98.

Can't find MSDOS.SYS? Go to "Start => Run" and type "attrib msdos.sys -r -h -s",
no look again in C:\ and there's MSDOS.SYS. (depending on your settings, you may
see MSDOS instead of MSDOS.SYS).
