Virus safety - good
Description: Many start-up logos, with instructions on replacing the Logo.sys file.
* (sadly, no longer freeware), I have constructed a number of files that can be used to replace the tiresome old Windows cloud logo with the pulsing bar that appears when you start up Windows 95 and 98. Simply download the zip files of the logos you want (logo.sys files are essentially just bitmaps, so they take up too much space to be left unzipped), unzip them somewhere convenient and then copy one into the C drive root directory of your computer and rename it "logo.sys". It will make life easier if you rename the original Windows file "logo.old" or something similar before you do this. In order to change the logo, simply repeat the process with another one. Alternatively, use an installation program. Feel free to change the "Please wait while your computer shuts down" and "It is now safe to turn off your computer" files, called respectively "logow.sys" and "logos.sys", yourself. They can be replaced with any 320 by 400 pixel bitmap in 256 colour format and are usually stored in the Windows directory if they are not in C. Under absolutely no account screw around with any other ".sys" files. This will cause your computer to cease to function, but I'm sure you knew that.
