For
the electronically challenged, you can make
your very own ItIsNotSafeToTurnOffYourComputerShutdownScreen!
TM.
Simply open the
file c:\windows\logos.sys (replace c:\windows with your actual windows folder, if it is
different) with
MSPaint (
run paint, go into
File, then
Open, and type in c:\windows\logos.sys). Then use the '
selector tool' to
select the T in "turn" (make sure to
grab some
background with it), copy it (Edit, Copy), and paste (Edit, Paste). Then move it over (left-click on it, hold mouse button, drag) so it looks more or less realistic over the W in "now" (release mouse button). Next, take the "pick color" tool (looks like a
dropper) and
click anywhere on the
dark background. Then
switch over to any
small brush and
remove the
remains of the W by simply
painting them over. Taking the background with T was for the
purpose of you not having to be able to tell where the T ends and the W begins.
Now, go to File, and click Save. Then simply shut down your system and, tada!

After having this screen on the computer for about 6 months, my family finally noticed it. When I came home I was greeted with the "You broke he computer again!" line.
