OK -heres how.first you want to have something to replace it with.It should be in rle format (several graphics programs, like wingif , or graphic workshop for windows, can turn most bitmaps to rle easily). Once you have an RLE pic you like of under ,lets say 40k (if its too high windows wont load) ,in a dos box ,or at the dos prompt rename your win.com (in the windows directory) to win.old (you want to be able to change it back to win.com at the dos prompt if something goes wrong).Next make sure your rle is in the windows system directory so that you can use the following commands. Assuming you have a c: prompt do the following-- cd windows cd system (you should now have a prompt with C:\windows\system> enter-copy /b win.cnf+vgalogo.lgo+(nameoffile).rle c:\windows\win.com -----there is a space between the b and win.cnf, and rle and c:\windows (just making sure!).I cant be responsible if you enter it wrong!This is the correct way, tho.Credit where credit is due, though, i got it from "windows 31 secrets" by Brian Livingston (a priceless book, i highly reccomend it). Good luck!
