I recently saw a file which contained some .RLE files, so that you could
change the default Windows startup screen. The author states that while he
doesn't know exactly what's going on, apparently Windows "compiles" an
????LOGO.RLE file into one of the runtime .EXEs, which is then showed as the
startup screen, when you run SETUP.EXE. I used the Whitewater Resource
Toolkit on c:\windows\system\user.exe, and WRT came out with a category it
called "BITNAP" which it couldn't edit. Is this the .RLE file? Is there any
way to directly swap them, without going through SETUP over and over again?
