==============
 Instruction:
==============

!   *.sys file type is usually hidden in most people's computers under Win95.
    Hence, you might have trouble in finding *.sys files for copy files.
    To see these hidden files, you can use either suggestion below. 

    suggestion a.   go to Explorer
                       choose View menu, then select Options...
                          in the dialog, enable "Show all files"

    suggestion b.   use a DOS window

 ------------------------------------------------------------------
0.  Unzip the zip file to a temporary directory.

 ------------------------------------------------------------------
1.  Move (backup) original "start up" and "shut down" logos to 
    another temporary directory.
      
      start-up       logo: "logo.sys"  in the root directory of your boot drive, usually C:
                           (If you are using a compression utility, please see note below.)
                           (If you cannot locate the logo.sys file, please see note below.)
      shut down wait logo: "logow.sys" in your win95 directory
      shut down safe logo: "logos.sys" in your win95 directory

 -------------------------------------------------------------------
2.  Use DOS window or Explorer to copy new logo files to the designated directories.

      "logo.sys"  goes to your root  directory
                  (If you are using a compression utility, please see note below.)
      "logow.sys" goes to your win95 directory
      "logos.sys" goes to your win95 directory

      Example of DOS command:    copy c:\temp_dir\logo.sys c:\
                                 copy c:\temp_dir\logos.sys c:\win95\

 -------------------------------------------------------------------
3.  Restart your computer.
 -------------------------------------------------------------------



=======
 Note:
=======
* If you are using a compression utility on your boot drive, 
  you must put logo.sys in the host for that drive.
  (For example, if drive C: is compressed and its host is the G: drive,
                then logo.sys should be placed in the root directory of the G: drive.)

* The default logo.sys is embedded in io.sys file.
  If you cannot find logo.sys in your drives, including the host drive (see above),
  chances are Win95 is using the logo that is embedded in io.sys as your start up logo.
  In this case, you don't have logo.sys to backup.  
  Simply place the new logo.sys in the root directory of your boot (host) drive. 
  Logo.sys in the root directory will take precedence of the one embedded in io.sys file.
  To get back to the original win95 logo, simply rename the logo.sys to other name.

* You can pick to change whichever logo files.  
  You don't have to change all three files in order to work.    

* To restore the original win95 logos, you must save the files in step 1.
  Then just copy the original logos to the designated directories.

* You can create your own Win95 logo files.
  They must be in 320 x 400 (256 colors) bitmap format.
  Although the real size displayed is 640 x 400, 
  Win95 will stretch these logo files when displaying them.
