Logo.sys has some specific requirements, it should be a 8-bit 320x480 bitmap in your root directory (or in other words C:\, not C:\windows). Anyway, for more info, read this: http://www.virtualplastic.org/html/logo_scr.html

That would require a combination of a shell replacement/enhancement (like NextStart, HoverDesk or LiteStep) and a windowskinner (primarily WindowBlinds). Too lazy to look up the links, look around this site, you'll find them.

That's about my average speed. You might find this thread informative as well: http://scripts.wincustomize.com/msgboardid.asp?id=15123 (I should be getting paid for this!)

Pretender: "In desktop I mean start bar,tool bars,and pop up windows "
Custom Startbar: Objectbar https://www.stardock.com/products/objectbar/ or Hoverdesk http://www.hoverdesk.net
Tool bars: ?? Dunno what you meen by that, but I'm assuming it's like your own customised app launcher bars and stuff, then the answer is the same as the above.
Pop up Windows: ?? Again I'm not sure what you mean, but if what you call popups are the customised popup menus when you click on the desktop, then it's either LiteStep http://www.litestep.com or NextStart http://www.winstep.net

If I may add, you may aslo want to look at DesktopX https://www.stardock.com/products/desktopx/ to customize your actual desktop, with animated object and stuff, it can be very neat, and also Windowblinds https://www.stardock.com/products/windowblinds/ to change the apearance of all of Windows windows.
Cheers!
