Short Version of Help:

This is for installing Win95 "Southpark" Animated Logo. ("SouthParkLogo.SYS")
I included this Text File since not everyone knows that the Logo can even be changed.

It's really not hard, just Rename the SYS file I gave you, to replace the
Logo.SYS file in C:\  directory. (Or whatever your boot/main Directory is.)
(Thus "SouthParkLogo.SYS" becomes "Logo.SYS".  After you Rename the
Original "Logo.sys", you put the one I gave you into the C:\ Directory.  TaDaaa!)

You MAY want to rename the original "Logo.sys" first, in case
you want it back.  Rename it something like "LogoOld.SYS".
Otherwise, just dump my Renamed version into C:\ and agree to overwrite the file.
(You can never see the Windows opening again, though.)


***  IF YOU DON'T SEE ANY ".SYS" FILE  ***

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

Go to Explorer choose View menu, then select Options... In the
dialog, enable "Show all files"



Long Version of Help:

NOTE:     "Logo.sys" is in C:\ or "main directory"  

Win 95 Animated Start-up Logo
Installation Instructions

Extract the new .SYS file to a temporary directory.  (The one you got from me.)

Move (backup) original start-up logo, "LOGO.SYS" from the root
directory of your boot drive, usually C:\ to another temporary
directory.  (Or rename is something like "LogoOld.sys")

(If you are using a compression utility or cannot locate the logo.sys file,
please see the notes below.)

Restart your computer and you're done

*************   Important Notes   ****************

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

Go to Explorer choose View menu, then select Options... In the
dialog, enable "Show all files"

Use a DOS window, in which most *.sys files can be viewed
normally

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 over the one embedded in
io.sys file. To get back to the original win95 logo, simply rename the
logo.sys to other name.

To restore the original win95 logo, you must save (backup) the file in
step 2. Then just copy the original logo to the designated directory.
