I know that there is a way to change the splash screen but I can't seem to remember the name or the file extension.

I assume you mean the initial screen that comes up - the one with the picture of the clouds that says Microsoft Windows?

If so, the files yo uwant is logo.sys in the Windows directory. Rename it to logo.bmp, modify it, then rename it back to logo.sys

Your answer was help full but I had some trouble locating logo.sys on my main system when i went to the other systems I'm working on I did find the file. Thanks, Bill

There are three files:
Logo.sys in the root directory (Startup)
and Logow.sys in the Windows folder (Wait)
And Logos.sys also in Windows (Shutdown)

if you are using windows 98 and have the CD you can go to the resource utility directory in that cd and install tweakui utility.
After installation run tweakui from control panel. under the boot tab you have the option of disabling or enabling the splash screen in windows.
hope it answers your queries...do mail in case of any problems.
