How do you turn off the Windows Logo during startup?

[EclipseJP]

Im not sure how its done but it should improve boot time I would think.

It is possible, To disable the start up logo use Tweak UI which is part of Microsoft Power Toys;
Select Tweak UI from the Control Panel.
Select the Boot tab.
Uncheck 'show splash screen while booting'.

You could also use a prog like TweakME.

I think you might be able to do it with MSConfig or a bit of reg hacking.

I doubt this will improve boot time by more than a nanosecond. But if it does post your results.

I tested it once. It was a bout 2s faster. Not much.

I disabled it unintentionally on ME a while back. Created a .bmp in Paint and saved in root as logo.sys (I think that was it). The new pic never displayed, but neither did the old one. :)

You can disable the boot logo by editing the "msdos.sys" file, changing the "Logo=1" line to "Logo=0" (without the quotes). There is a MSKB article that describes the different "msdos.sys" options available, here...

Logo= Boolean
Default: 1
Purpose: A setting of 1 forces the default Windows 95 logo to appear. A setting of 0 prevents the animated logo from being displayed. A setting of 0 also avoids hooking a variety of interrupts that can create incompatibilities with certain third-party memory managers.
...for Win95, Win98, 98SE, and WinMe.;)

I tried that and some other stuff, most things worked but it didn't remove/disable the splash screen on ME, with 98 everything worked fine....a well TweakME does it all and is much easier, it also has lots of other tweakz :cool: .

But now you know WHAT it's tweaking! :)

Killing the spash screen (like everyone else said) won't decrease boot time. I have had my computer without the screen for about 2 or 3 weeks now, and there was no decrease. If you like to see DOS (like me!) then getting rid of the screen is good, but if you are just tired of was MS has thrown up there, try changing it. One of the cooler ways to personalize your computer!
