Change the blue sky and clouds to stormy skies: These files will replace the Windows 95 logo and the blue sky/cloud background that appear when you start your computer running Windows 95.
Step 1: Download
Choose one of the images below that you would like to use for your
startup screen. Download the associated zip file, placing it in your
'root' directory on your hard drive- that is, if your hard drive is C:\, then download the file to c:\ (not
to a subdirectory).
Step 2: Install
Click on the 'Start' button in Windows 95.
Click on 'Run'.
Unzip the file by typing in: C:\scenic.zip (or c:\gates.zip)
*NOTE: You must have an unzip utility (such as PkZip or WinZip) installed
on your computer to extract the files.
Click on the 'Start' button in Windows 95.
Click on 'Run'.
Type in: C:\scenic.bat (or c:\gates.bat)
The program will then replace your old startup screen with the new one.
To view your new startup screen, restart your computer.
If you prefer, you can install the new startup screen manually:
After unzipping the file: Using Windows explorer, find the file logo.sys in your hard drive's root directory (c:\)
Rename logo.sys to logo.bak
Rename lghtning.sys to logo.sys
Your new startup screen is ready! Restart your computer to view.
Uninstalling
If you would like to revert back to the original startup screen, delete the file logo.sys and rename logo.bak to logo.sys.
My work is, at this very moment you are reading this, generating the most income it ever has in my career. Yet, I was forced to shut down the professional side of my successul operation, against my will, due to one cause alone: 95% of that revenue is being stolen by piracy and copyright infringement. I've lost more than $1 million to copyright infringement in the last 15 years, and it's finally brought an end to my professional storm chasing operation. Do not be misled by the lies of infringers, anti-copyright activists and organized piracy cartels. This page is a detailed, evidenced account of my battle I had to undertake to just barely stay in business, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem faced by all of my colleagues and most other creators in the field.

This chase was a routine television assignment in my role as a cameraman. As a result, many of these don't have a dedicated chase log.
This chase was only recorded in my mileage reports, no detailed log was written for it.
