Change your Windows Startup screen
Create a 320-by-400-by-8-bit (really!) bitmap using MS-Paint, rename it LOGO.SYS then put it into the root directory of the boot drive. We recommend you use LOGOW.SYS as a template and paste the image into it, thereby avoiding sizing and palette problems.

You can easily change both of the Windows shutdown screens as well ("Please wait..." and "It is now safe..."). Simply edit the following files into a bitmap image of your design. After all, all of the "splash screens" listed are simply .BMPs with the extensions changed.
