Look at logo.sys. It's a bmp. If you delete the file, Windows uses the
same graphic embedded in another necessary file - I believe.

Subject: [SLUG] Splashscreen Humor
When I found out that Windows NT kept the splashscreen in the \winnt
directory, I customized it with the GIMP to better reflect the way it
really
performs for me at work. NT will use any *.BMP file named "Winnt256.bmp"
for
the splashscreen (Winnt.bmp if the monitor can't support 256 colors),
and
this is the new one I use at my place of employment. A few co-workers
soon
noticed it and asked for copies of their own. Help yourselves.

The company IT guy who installed Office XP on my box either didn't
notice, or
wasn't amused. I haven't taken the time yet to figure out where
Win95/98,
Windows 2000, or XP keep their splashscreen graphics, but giving those
the
same kind of treatment strikes me as an entertaining weekend project.
