[comp.sys.mac.misc] Background Problem!

greve@wilma.wharton.upenn.edu (11/28/90)

    I have a MAC problem and I hope this is the right place to post it.
   We have a MAC SE with an external hard drive.  The machine boots up
   fine but we get the "Welcome To MacIntosh" logo as the background.
   It's similar to what a former employee did here when he put his 
   girlfriends picture on as his background.  

    My question is, how does one get rid of this background logo.  I took
   out nearly everything from the system folder but the logo still remains.
   Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

The quickest and easiest way to remove the background:

1.	Boot from a System Tools floppy.
2.	Trash the System Folder from the HD.
3.	Launch Installer and re-install a fresh system.
4.	Reboot to find no background screen.
