How can I change the Windows startup screen?

 

 

Depending on what Windows 9x products you have installed, the screen that appears is LOGO.SYS and is in the root of your boot drive - usually C:\. If it does not exist, you haven't installed any Windows 9x products that bother the startup, such as Microsoft Plus! LOGO.SYS is a Windows Bitmap and can be read by Paint. It is a 320 x 400 file, but if you use a program that will stretch that, you can see it how Windows 95 will display it: 640 x 480.

Windows XP users please go here.

 

Also, be sure that it is no more than 256 colors. To make your own, simply create a new picture that is 640 x 480. After you are finished, stretch it to 320 x 400 and save it as LOGO.SYS in the root of your boot drive.

 

Changing the Windows Shut Down Wait Screen.

 

The screen that says "Please Wait While Your Computer Shuts Down" is actually called LOGOW.SYS and is in your Windows directory usually C:\windows. It is a Windows Bitmap that can be read by Paint. It is a 320 x 400 file, but if you use a program that will stretch that, you can see it how Windows 9x will display it: 640 x 480. Also, be sure that it is no more than 256 colors. To make your own, simply create a new picture that is 640 x 480. 

 

After you are finished, stretch it to 320 x 400 and save it as LOGOW.SYS in your Windows directory.
