This is correct under Win95, but not quite correct under Win98. The file
'io.sys' contains the default Win98 splash screen. If a file named
'logo.sys' is present in the root directory of C:, it will be used, but
if absent then the default will be displayed.

As someone else mentioned, the splash screen can be turned off entirely
with the Powertoy 'TweakUI', which is on the Win98 CD. Alternatively,
you can directly modify the file 'C:\msdos.sys' to disable the splash
screen, but alas I don't have the correct syntax at hand. TweakUI is the
easiest method, IMHO.
