XP, Vista? What logon?

You can't get rid of it, it's hardcoded into Windows. The only thing you can change in a Vista logon is the background.

Logo can be removed...with a program called resource hacker:

run resource hacker

navigate to C:\Windows\Branding\Basebrd

Open Basebrd.dll

Locate the bitmap Folder Then delete bitmaps.

Note: You can Change/Edit the bitmap also.

Been without the logo for months and doing this had no adverse affects on vista.

Raven2043: Altering that file? I would suggest making a copy of it and storing it in another place before using that 'hack'. I would also think doing this might void any warranty for the OS.

Made backup of it....but that was months ago and it has caused no problems...besides I have full backup through Acronis True Image if it did.
