    Well on the Windows 9X computers (ME included), it was LOGO.sys found in your C:\ drive, or whatever drive Windows is located. It's attributes are hidden, readonly and system to hide it even further. On XP they changed it. Here are a couple ways I found after Googling it:

    You can use a program called BootXP. Unless you are after a code-only way, inwhich case you need to edit the image resource which is part of shell32.dll.
