Is it possible to replace the MS logo with another BMP when I start Windows 3.0? --- Barry L.

I know that it's possible to suppress the MS logo (and save some seconds) by launching windows as follows: win /s : win /r : win /3 : win : Terrell

It appears that SETUP copies the logo into the driver at install-time. The file to be copied is specified in SETUP.INF (look at the section describing video drivers). This file (VGALOGO.RLE for most) must meet two requirements: it must be a Windows DIB (device- independant bitmap) and it must be VERY small (so small that it must usually be encoded in RLE4 form, hence the .RLE extension). I've tried (without success) to bind in files larger than VGALOGO.RLE, so it may need to be a smaller file. - Wolf
