Windows *.RLE files and the startup screen

[David Shapiro]

I recently saw a file which contained some .RLE files, so that you could 
change the default Windows startup screen. The author states that while he 
doesn't know exactly what's going on, apparently Windows "compiles" an 
????LOGO.RLE file into one of the runtime .EXEs, which is then showed as the 
startup screen, when you run SETUP.EXE. I used the Whitewater Resource 
Toolkit on c:\windows\system\user.exe, and WRT came out with a category it 
called "BITNAP" which it couldn't edit. Is this the .RLE file? Is there any 
way to directly swap them, without going through SETUP over and over again?
