there ). And I know they are bitmap files, but what is inside? how
can my computer send them to my display and it looks the same? does
it put 1's and 0's from left to right like a tv or does it do it in
packs (8 bit, 16 bit ). That is what I want to know.

icons, wallpaper, startup (splash) screen and shutdown screen are all in
this format up to Windows 95 -- Win98 allowed some other file formats for
things when they came up with the active desktop deal.
Any graphics file you save in Windows Paint will be a bitmap (unless you
have a later version that will also do jpegs).
