Ok, my son downloaded some annoying software that overwrote the normal startup
and shutdown screens.

I have backuped version of windows...if someone can just tell me the file(s) that
contain the original images I would be able to restore them....

thx,

Chris

Hi Chris
Logo.sys is the startup logo and is in your root directory
Logos.sys and Logow.sys is in your windows directory
these are you alright to shut down windows and please wait
till windows closes, or something like that.

Just use System File Checker (Start, Run, SFC.EXE) and tell it to extract a
single file; extract the files LOGOW.SYS and LOGOS.SYS and you should be all
set.

As an added note to Richard's post:  Do a find on logo.sys and rename it:
logo.bmp.  Double click it and if it is the offending file, delete it.  This
should allow the original splash screen to show as it is embedded in io.sys.
