  Enable Hidden BootScreen in Windows Vista

  User Interface No Comments
  The default boot screen of Windows Vista is a black screen containing just a progress bar and the text “Microsoft Corporation”. Those of you who are tired of this boring default look of the Windows Vista Boot Screen, can enable the hidden boot screen.

  The Default Boot Screen

  

  The hidden Vista boot screen, called  “Aurora”

  

  To make the change all you have to do is:

  1. type msconfig into the start menu search box, and hit enter.
     
  2. Click the Boot tab, and then check the “No GUI boot” check box.
     
  3. Hit OK and reboot the computer. You should see the new boot screen immediately.

  Note: You may get a Windows Defender error on the next startup. You can enable the system config utility using the tray icon and this error will go away. If for some reason you can no longer boot into windows after this change reboot, and while it’s booting, press F8 multiple times, and then select safe mode. Then uncheck the “No GUI boot” box.
