These directions and screenshots are based on using Screen Booty on Windows 98.

1. Start Screen Booty by double-clicking on the Screen Booty shortcut on the desktop, as shown:

   

   Screen Booty starts by displaying the main screen as shown:

   

   The screen has two parts - left and right. The left side of the screen contains three small preview screens representing  the three screens that Windows 98 displays during startup (the top screen), the screen Windows 98 displays as it is shutting down (the center screen), and the screen Windows 98 displays when it is safe to turn off the computer (the bottom screen). You can use Screen Booty to change some or all of the screens.

   The right side of the screen displays a larger copy of each of the smaller screens on the left. The right side of the screen always shows the current screen - the screen that you can customize.



2. Click each of the small screens on the left side of the Screen Booty screen. The larger copy of the screen on the right side of the display changes to match the screen you click on the left. 
    
3. Click the top screen on the left - the one marked Startup (the caption appears just below each of the small screens) as shown:

   

4. Click the Edit button (shown below) on the Toolbar to edit the startup screen:

   

   Screen Booty displays the Image Editor window.
    

5. Click the Text button (see below) the Image Editor's Toolbar:

   
    

6. Move the pointer, with your mouse, to just above the Windows logo as shown:

   

   The pointer changes from an arrow to an "i" bar (a bar that looks like the capital letter "i").
    

7. Click the mouse button to display the Edit Text Label window (see below). The Edit Text window allows you to add text to the image that's currently on the screen:

   
    

8. Delete the text that appears in the window by pressing the DEL (delete) key on your keyboard.
    
9. Type the word ScreenBooty - the screen should look like the one shown:

   

   
   
10. Click Ok to add the text to the startup screen.



11. Move the text to the center of the screen:

 
1. Move the mouse pointer over the text - the pointer changes to an arrow with a small rectangle below it as shown:

   

2. Click the mouse button (but do not let go of the button), and drag (move the mouse) to reposition the text. Release the mouse button to 'drop' the text where you want it to appear.
    
12. Click Ok, then click Yes to save the changes:

    

    The Image Editor Window closes and returns you to the main Screen Booty screen. The current screen changes, after a short time, to include the text you just added.
     

13. Install the changed startup screen by selecting File, then Install from the menu at the top of the Screen Boot screen:

    
     

14. Click Yes:

    

15. Install the Startup screen using the selection box that pops-up, as shown:

    
     

16. Click Ok to install the new startup screen.

    Screen Booty confirms that it installed the changes - click Ok.
     

17. Close Screen Booty by selecting File, then Exit from the menu.
     
18. Restart Windows 98 to see how the text you added looks:
