Start-up & Shut Down

Creating Custom Logos

Windows comes with 3 logos which is logo.sys in your root directory and logow.sys and logos.sys in your Windows directory. Although it is stamped as a system file, it is actually in a graphic format. Open it with your image editing program. The size should be 320x400. Scale it to 640x480. After editing, scale it back to 320x400. The files only support 256 colors so be more lenient on the colors. If you really can't find the files, chances are Windows is actually using the default one from Io.sys. Never mind that, you can create them and with the same names.
