Hi Javad,

From Ron Badours Tips Page
http://home.satx.rr.com/badour/html/tips_e_-_p.html

MODIFYING LOGO SCREENS. Three files, they may be hidden if you have that
option set in Explorer, comprise the start and shutdown screens. Logo.sys
(start screen) is in the C:\ directory either as its own file or it is
imbedded in the io.sys file. The imbedded file displays unless there is an
actual logo.sys file present in which case it displays. The logow.sys (wait
screen) and logos.sys (shut off screen) are located in the C:\Windows
folder. Remove the later two files and the first one if it is not the
imbedded one to a safe place so you don't overwrite them. Replacement
screens must be in a .bmp format, be sized or resized to 320 X 400 X 256
colors and renamed as the appropriate screen name. For animated logo
screens, see: http://www.nucleus.com/~kmcmurdo/win95logo.html Click here
to download a little application that randomly swaps logo screens at boot.

I saw some persons who had changed the appearance of their windows Start
screen or Shut down screen. For example when shutting down, instead of
seeing the message of "Windows is now shutting down" I saw a "Good Night"
message with a beautiful picture.

I asked one of them about how he did this. He thought a little and then
said
I used "Microsoft Multimedia". I don't know either he was right or he just
didn't want to tell me the truth, but I have never seen a software called
"Microsoft Multimedia".

Do you know how we can change the start and shut-down pictures?

Thank you
Javad
