    Go the the Windows directory and change the files logos.sys and logow.sys extention to BMP and you can modify the picture.

    If you make good use of (I think) the first 6? palette entries, you can do the animation.

    You can "skin" IE's toolbar. Open up RegEdit, and go to this key:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar

    Then add a string value called "BackBitmap" and set its data to the path of a bitmap file. Restart Internet Explorer and see what you get.

    HI,


    if you delete windows and install unix instead
    you will have a stable operating system

    (no honest !!)

    Merlin ?

    Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.

    Quake3, Unreal Tournament, to name just two, are new games that run perfectly well on Linux.
