My employer has just replaced my old PC with a newer one.
During the boot process, after the VGA screen with the
progress bar, a bitmap C:\WINDOWS\blueback.bmp is
displayed. It is the Corporate Logo. I prefer the standard
XP boot behaviour.

There are several image viewers with a basic function to let you
choose any format image file

I found that deleting the registry entry HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control
Panel\Desktop\wallpaper (which was pointing to blueback.bmp) caused the
default XP behaviour to come back — the screen "Windows is starting" now
appears in my boot sequence between the "VGA" phase and the Welcome Screen.

Note: This is nothing whatsoever to do with desktop backgrounds (or
wallpapers if you like).
