Did you put the full path name 'E:\Nanda\Mails\logo.gif' in for the gif? If so,
none of the registry variables will override it. You should simply set the graphic name to be logo.gif. I'm afraid I can't remember if the registry variable to be set for this is REPORTS60_PATH, or if the same variable should be used as for icons (which is, I think UI_ICON), or if there's another one - I don't have access to my notes at present.
