Fractals



The image above the text you are reading is a fractal. If you think that fractals are artistic drawing created by an original artist, you are completely wrong. Fractals are graphics of complex mathematical functions. Behind fractals there is nothing else than mathematics. It is called "fractals" because these drawings are not in first, second or third dimension but in fractional dimension. A fractal can be in dimension 1.333 by example.

Startup and shutdown images

Are you tired of the same old Windows logo ? You can change it and it's easy ! Here is a 4 steps instruction to change your startup, wait and shutdown screens.

Step 1: Choose any image you want.

Step 2: Save your image in 256 colors with a size of 320 X 400 pixels.

Step 3: Rename your image file as logo.sys if it is a startup image or rename your image file as logow.sys if it is a "wait" image or rename your image file as logos.sys if it is a "shutdown" image.

Step 4: Replace the file logo.sys in you root directory (usually C:) by your new logo.sys to change your startup screen. Replace the file logow.sys and/or logos.sys in you windows directory by your new files to change your wait and/or your shutdown screen. (Advice: backup your original files if you don't want to loose them.)


Click on images to download special moving startup screens. Just rename them (after having unzipped them because it's ZIP files) and put them in the appropriated directory.

(You don't see images moving right now but it will be moving when you will boot or shutdown your computer.)
