Ok This is how it goes Change the attributes for msdos.sys so it is not "Read only" , msdos.sys is found in the root directory of your c:\ drive. Open the file using Notepad or any text edditor (Not MS word or any word processor) Change or add the followind line 'Logo=0' This will disable the windows logo screen if you want it back then make "Logo=1" Change the attributes back The changes will take place on the next reboot.

I'm fairly new at this.  Do you change only the "read only" attribute and if you 
don't change it would the addition to the file not take place? Thanks

you must remove the read-only attribute otherwise the file cannot be saved, thus the change will not take place.

for what it's worth, the two second boot delay was removed in windows 98. the delay you're seeing is caused by something else.
