At work somebody has change the startup screen. Generally this is done by way of a logo.sys file. However, there is no such file on the affected computer.

I was wondering where windows stores the default screen and how I can access it to change it back to default?

Any insights,

Thanks

Insert windows98 cd. Go to start, run, and type sfc. Click on extract one file from installation disk. Type logo.sys, and click start. Extract from D:\windows98, where D: is your cdrom drive letter. Extract to c:\windows\system. Click start, it should say one file successfully extracted. If it asks to backup the file, choose no.

I don't have a windows98 folder on my cd. I looked in the win98 folder and no luck. Any chance you could save the file for me and EMAIL it to me?

Your help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

shouldn't you be able to just copy this file from another 98 machine? I assume if you are at work you would have more than one comp. If not I can email you the logo.sys
 
As a friendly reminder:

Windows' startup logo used to be stored in a file we all know as logo.sys. Logow.sys and logos.sys have to do with the shutdown sequence and have nothing to do with this problem.

Starting with Win98 the default logo is no longer in logo.sys. Windows stores that image in some unknown file that I am not aware of. The logo.sys file has been done away with. However, if one wants a startup logo other than the default, if one puts a logo.sys file in the C:\ directory then windows will use that instead of the default.

My problem is that someone has affected the default itself. I was hoping that someone out there might have used a program to save the default logo to a logo.sys file that I could put in the C:\ directory to override the infected default as it were. I have yet to find such a program.

I hope this clarifies everything up. Can anybody help me?
