Windows 3.1 startup screens

Changing the startup screen is fun, but you must be careful. You don't want to find youeself having to reinstall Windows, do you?

This is what my favourite looks like.

Gif of the RLE file

The RLE format file (27K) Save this file in your windows system directory.

Start a DOS session or exit to DOS

Change to the Windows System directory and carefully type:

copy /b win.cnf+vgalogo.lgo+who.rle newwin.com

Move the newwin.com file to your windows directory

To try it, make sure you're not in Windows any more, and type newwin

When you're sure it works, backup your copy of win.com and rename mywin.com to win.com
