Windows Boot Logo – WINNT256.BMP

Winnt256.bmp and winnt.bmp will appear in your Windows folder. If you're running WinPatrol 10.x or later, these files will appear in your Hidden Files list. These files display the Windows logo on boot up. Winnt.bmp is used if your video system doesn't handle at least 256 colors. Otherwise, Winnt256.bmp is used. Since most people now have systems that handle more than 256 colors, the file name to use is Winnt256.bmp.

If you want to use a different image on boot up, you can do so by renaming winnt256.bmp to winnt256old.bmp and then naming your custom inage winnt256.bmp. The image must be a vaild bitmap format file. This is only recommended if you're very comfortable working with images and renaming/copying files.
