Change the Start-up and Log off screens
- There are two files in the /Windows directory, both are 320 x 400 bitmaps
- LOGOW.SYS is the "Wait while Shutting down...." screen
- LOGOS.SYS is the "You may now shut...." screen
- You can edit these files or create your own, they just have to be 320 x 400 bitmaps
If you have 640x480 images, here's how to make them 320x400 and keep their normal appearance when they are displayed at start up or shutdown:
- Open the desired image in Paint
- Choose Stretch/Skew under Image
- Select Horizontal and change the percentage to 50
- Choose OK
- Choose Stretch/Skew again
- Select Vertical and set it to 104
- Choose OK
- Choose Stretch/Skew again
- Select Vertical again and set it to 80
- Choose OK
- Choose Attributes under Image and there it is - a 320x400 bitmap
Remember to save it with the .SYS extension.
To create your custom Start-up Screen
Create a file as described above, and name it Logo.sys. Place this file in the Root directory (C:\)
