MODIFYING THE LOGO SCREEN

If you don't want to eliminate the screen, perhaps you would like to modify it in some way. The display file is called LOGO.SYS, in your root directory, but although the extension is "SYS" it is really a normal Windows bitmap file. If you want to modify it you could use MS Paint, the default paint program that comes with Windows. Or you could substitute another bitmap graphic file (usually has the file extension ".BMP") of your choice: just rename the old one to LOGO.BMP, say (in case you ever want to restore its use, it's a good idea to save it), and rename your new graphic BMP file to LOGO.SYS. You can do something similar with the screen that you get when you shut down Windows. This screen file name is LOGOW.SYS.
