Start up\shut down annoyance
My son downloaded a gruesome pic and meant to set it as a background wallpaper. It did not set up as the wallpaper (once it's up and running) but it shows up on the screen everytime we start up and shut down and is very annoying.
Can anyone please tell me how to get rid of this "thing" on my screen at start up and shut downs.
Thanks for you help!

- thanks for the suggestion... but I have already trie that. On the start up ..... the pic come up after the winows ME logo and dot promt goes by but before the wallpaper loads??
And on shut down... it come up just before it goes black?? it is really annoying...
I think he tried to set it with a right click on the pic then set an wallpaper... and now it's stuck there for life...unless someone can help me.
thanks again......

Go to Start|Find|Files or Folders and look for logo.sys and logow.sys. When you find them, right-click and rename them to logo.old and logow.old. That should get rid of them.
Logo.sys is displayed at startup and logow.sys is displayed at shut down. If you find a logos.sys as well, it would be displayed instead of the "It is now safe to turn off your computer" screen, which flashes by too quickly to see.
