Re: how to change the starting w95 logo?

I'm posting to the group just in case anyone else cares to know...

CAUTION:  Do NOT attempt to do this w/out first making a backup copy of
the startup screen!

Right.
The Win95 startup screen is a bitmap, 320x400 pixels large.  You can
find it in C:\ under the name Logo.sys
Change that filename. (if you don't know how to do that, don't mess
around with it-- you'll probably just mess up your compuer)
ANY image, as long as it is a 320x400 pixel bitmap, can be used as a
startup screen.  So... find the image you want to use, stretch it to
that size (be aware that it will look sort of funny in the editor-- it
gets stretch horizontally when actually used) and save it as C:/Logo.sys

You can also change the two shutdown screens.  They're
C:\Windows\Logow.sys (the "please wait while your computer shuts
down..." and C:\Windows\Logos.sys ("It is now safe to turn off your
computer...")

Good luck!
