I have looked in MSDOS.SYS and looked up all logo.sys in C:dir/. I have not been able to find the option to turn off the windows start up logo. Does anyone know where it is in the registry and can it be disabled from there. I look for about 2 hours last night and have not been able to find it. Some one please hook me up with some info on this subject. I am using 98se 0/s

Open the Msdos.sys file and set the
logo= line to 0

If the MSDOS.SYS file does not have the entry for Logo=1 then add the line to the msdos.sys file that says Logo=0. This will force it to not display the logo. If at a later you wish to display the logo again, just go back into the msdos.sys file andchange the setting to Logo=1 and the logo will again appear when windows is booting.

You must enable "View All Files" (from explorer, "view > folder options > view> show all files" radio button) and the Logo.sys file by default is located on the root of C:. You can open the Logo.sys with MS Paint by right clicking and then choosing open with, then MSPaint. Be warned though, if you make any changes to the Logo.sys in MSPaint that the animation at the bottom (the bar that moves) will no longerbe animated.
[excerpt from the mskb article}
Logo=Boolean
Default: 1
Purpose: A setting of 1 forces the default Windows 95 logo to appear. A setting of 0 prevents the animated logo from being displayed. A setting of 0 also avoids hooking a variety of interrupts that can create incompatibilities with certain third-party memory managers.

Hope this helps ...
