Simplest way is to release from images during a boot and shootdown.
We had restart our computers so many times, that already know good
what system doing without any graphic reminder, is not it?
You can hide c:\logo.sys, c:\windows\logon.sys;logow.sys;winlogo.gif.
It will accelerate rebooting. Then (and generally), try to keep your
system easy. Deinstall unnecessary programm and clean system registry.
All programs, even those, which you deinstalled a long time ago,
"laid eggs" in registry. And each and every egg is as an anchor braking
a system. If you wonder about one more method to be sure in proper work
of your dos application, please go to www.qsl.net/ur5ffc click
"under construction" image and read "how i run my computer with dos
programs". If you dislike this, anyway, you can find there a link to
download a good program jv16 Power Tools. It will help You, I believe.
