bios
I find that it takes a long time at boot up and dell logo has stopped showing and a black screen for approx. 30 seconds before my logon screen appears.
a) can "DELL" screen be replaced by a screen of my choosing, ie my grand children.
b can the timing of the screen on show be altered so that it closes just before my login screen appears.
I have looked at the Bios configuration and cannot find anything which will help me, if anyone would like a copy of the bios for printing let me know.

a. Not on models built in the last 5 years or more -- on old Latitudes there was such a utility, but not for current ones.
b. You can enable a mode that turns off the splash screen and lets you see the POST messages -- how that's done depends on the model system you have.

Look under POST behavior in setup -- set it to "minimal" and it'll reduce the boot time.

done that still takes a long time to load, especially disappointed at the black screen after the "DELL" logo goes away, Dell should be able to offer a way of substituting another picture other than a blank black screen.
II wonder if there is a way within the registry?
