Tube Theme Startup and Shutdown Screens for Windows95

Have you ever got tired of the ugly original startup and shutdown screens in your Windows95?

Replace them with new ones, more suitable for a tube enthusiastic:

Startup:

Shutdown 1:

(originally "Please wait while Windows is shutting down")

Shutdown 2:

(originally "It is now safe to turn off your computer")

Installation instructions:

1. Download the zip file TubeLogo.zip (173 253 bytes). It contains three files: logo.sys, logow.sys and logos.sys.
2. Copy logo.sys to your boot disk root directory (normally C:/).
3. Copy logow.sys and logos.sys to your windows directory (usually C:/WINDOWS).

Before copying you might want to rename the original files or move them to another directory (e.g. WINDOWS/SYSBCKUP).

The pictures are really ordinary 320 x 400 pixel bitmaps (renamed from .bmp to .sys) with a weird aspect ratio. They look normal, if you resize them to 534 x 400 pixels.

If you like them, please mail me a few lines!

There are much more customization tips and workarounds for most of the infuriating "features" available in Windows95 Annoyances.
