Is it possible to disable the compaq logo that is seen at bootup so that i can see what is happening when my computer is booting such as the memory test? I tried using tweakui to do this but it only disabled the windows98 splash screen. I have a compaq 7478 if it matters. I think i read one time that the logo is part of the bios.

In the company I work for there are some internal files that are automatically created. The problem is that they were wrote back in DOS days and used file extensions that at that time were unique. Win 98 associates these internal files to unrelated programs and they wont open in the associated program because they were never supposed to be opened in that environment. How can I associate a different program to a known file extension. I can open them now by starting the application first and then opening the file but some of these files I use so much that I would like them to automatically open when I click on them (I guess the problem would happen in reverse then when I try to open a file that really was Win 98 and created by the application but that wouldn't happen as often).
