Changing the Windows logo screens

In Windows 95, 98, and ME the startup logo screen is controlled by the file C:\Logo.sys.If this file does not exist, Windows will load the default logo screen that is inside the file C:\IO.sys. The Please Wait and shut down screens are located in the Windows folder, they are Logos.sys and Logow.sys. If they do not exist Windows will load the default screens. ( words, not pictures). ME does not come with a Please Wait screen.

If no screens are seen you will need to remove the read only attribute from the file C:\Msdos.sys and edit the value Logo=1 if it is set to zero then no screens will be displayed.

In the Windows NT platform (NT, 2000, XP)the startup screens are in the Windows folder, named Lanma256.bmp,Lanmannt.bmp, Winnt.bmp, or Winnt256.bmp. They are loaded only if the file exists.
