I've downloaded Wingif and converted a bmp file to an rle file. Then
I renamed the rle file vgalogo.rle and placed it in the \windows\system
directory. I thought that would do it, and that subsequently my opening
screen would be my original bmp image. But it isn't! I still get the blue
Windows opening screen. I have noticed that there is also a vgalogo.lgo
file. So my questions are : (1) What is the purpose of vgalogo.rle?
(2) How do I achieve my goal of replacing the opening screen with something
else? (3) Why do people like me get obsessed with details like this which
have nothing to do with the real work they hope to do ever so much more
efficiently than they have in the past now that they have Windows 3?
