Question about 'Replace the Ugly Startup and Shutdown Screens'

I have a question about Replace the Ugly Startup and Shutdown Screens:

For some reason after i change the file to .bmp I cant change it back to .sys. I am using Mspaint and it keeps calling it logos.sys.bmp. There is no "all files" option in the pulldown bar either . Is there any place where i can change it back to a .sys file ?

go into windows explorer, right-click the file and choose 'Rename'

You have to change the name of system files within a dos window. Go to ms-dos and at the c: prompt use the rename command to rename the file.

as long as file attributes (in properties) aren't set to "system", you can rename them in explorer. I just tried it with logo.sys and there was no problem.

Does anybody know how to rename a file extenstion from Windows? This works in ms-dos, but I would rather that microsoft W98 would allow me this pleasure of.

I am having the same problem- my filenames are logo.sys.bmp, logos.sys.bmp, and logow.sys.bmp. I can't rename them in explorer. I don't know how to rename them in dos, if someone could explain that command it would be alot of help.
