I've heard of ways to remove or alter the windows splash screen but im not sure how. Im using windows 98 SE. I tried altering logos.sys and also deleting, renaming, moving the file. Nothing seems to work. I was told this was the file but im not sure. Anyone know of a way to alter the splash screen or remove it?

There is no Logo.sys in Win98. To change the splash screen,

1. Make your graphics of any or all of the three files. They have to be 320 x 400 pixels and 256 colors. They have to be saved in the .bmp format. (keep in mind that your graphic will bestretched by Windows twice as wide, but just a little bit vertically)
Rename your files "logo.sys" for the opening screen, "logow.sys" for the first closing screen and "logos.sys" for the final screen.

2. Place the new Logos where they need togo
The new Logo.sys should be placed into the C:\ (root) directory and the Logos.sys and Logow.sys files should be placed into the C:\WINDOWS directory.

Read the question a little bit better next time. I never said anything about logo.sys. And as far as the screen size, itll be much larger, considering my pixels are jacked up to 1024x768. Thanx tho.

Tweak UI is about the biggest joke ever made. That program is worthless and a piece of sh*t as far as im concerned. It wont change what im looking for anyways.

Thanx. That will suffice. Sick of looking at that crap everytime i boot up. Tried to manually change and it wouldnt work.
