To get rid of the startup logo, you need to edit the msdos.sys file, which MS thoughtfully make read only system and hidden. Copy it to another folder once you have reset the attributes above and then add the line "BootLogo =0" to get rid of the logo. Use Dos Edit to do this or notepad, NOT a word processor as that could trash the file. If anyone has other suggestions to do this more safely please comment.
Hi Dennis,
You can change the Windows logo to something else using a Theme manager but the logo whatever it may be is just wallpaper covering what's going on in the bootup process and does not effect the speed of bootup in the least. One way of speeding up your boot process is to trim the Start up folder items. A super guide to what can be unchecked can be obtained by going to

Under the boot tab, there is an option to see your loadup, just turn it to that setting, and save the bios settings when you exit.
Depending on which BIOS you have, a small explanation may/maynot be on the right side of the screen, you can then easily select the option.
Just wanted to tell you one thing...the wallp[aper you see isn't slowing your machine down, it is going through it's bootup procedure, and what you are most likely waiting for, is the memory count/check. The more memory you have, the longer the bootup of your system. Good Luck.
