Yer Winlogo is a utility to change the startup and shutdown screens of Windows 95. It enabled you to view the current image and load new images.

 Changing An Image

On the main form of Yer Winlogo you will see three editboxes with beneath them three buttons each.

•	The first editbox is for the Startup screen.

•	The second editbox is for the screen that tells you to wait while Windows is closing.

•	The last one is for the screen telling you that you can turn off your Computer.

  Previewing the current image

To preview one of the current screens click on the button with the monitor for that screen.

The text in de editbox above this button will turn red to tell you that this image is shown.

 Loading an image

To load a new image to replace one of the screens click on the button showing a folder with an eye on it.

Once you have selected a file in the dialog box that shows up the image will be shown and the file path and filename will be shown in the editbox. From now this image will be shown as soon as you click on the preview button. This does not mean that the image is replaced yet.

 Undo the loaded image

If you have changed the screens but decide that you want to keep the current screen for one the screens you can use the Undo button with the warning sign on it. When you click on it the new image will be removed and the filename will be removed from the editbox. When you save now only the new screens will change.

 Undo all changes

Use the cancel button to remove all changes at once.

 Saving the new changes

Clicking on the OK button will save all changes you made. To make a backup of the current screens you have to check Make Backup. Use As Original Windows Screens to keep a backup of the original Windows screens and As Ordinary Backup Screens to keep a backup of other old screens you installed before. Older backups will be overwritten.


 Recovering Old Screens

Recovery of old screens is only possible when you made a backup of the old screens when you changed the screens.

When you want to recover a screen press the [image] button.

Now you will see a small screen with three checkboxes and two radiobuttons.

Choose with the radiobuttons wether you want to recover the original Windows screens or a backup of a screen you've installed before.

Only the checkboxes for the screens that have a backup image will be enabled. Check the boxes for the screens that you want to recover and press OK.


 Answers To Frequently Asked Questions

I changed a screen but I don't see anything.

You used an image that is too large to display. First make sure that you don't use more than 256 colors.

Beside that make sure that the filesize (on disk) of your image is not larger that 126 kB.

I want to recover my old screens but Yer Winlogo won't allow me to.

If you have checked both the Ordinady Backup and the backup of the Original Windos Screens then there are two options:

•	You have forgotten to check the Make Backup when you replaced the screens

•	The backup files are removed from your disk.

I wanted to restore the original Windows screens but I got an older screen I placed.

You restored the Ordinary Backup. If restoring the Original Windows Screens is not possible then there is no backup available of these files.

I have never seen a Startup screen and I also don't get a Startup screen now I have installed one with Yer Winlogo.

Windows is configured not to show a start up screen. You can configure Windows to show the screen with the applet Tweak UI in your configuration screen. If you don't have it you can download it from Microsoft, Windows95.com of other FTP sites. You can also use ALTernative MSDOS Editor to correct this problem.
