  • 2.Type “msconfig” and hit enter.Enable the Hidden BootScreen
  • 3.Open the Boot tab.
  • 4.Check the “No GUI boot” checkbox.
    Enable the Hidden BootScreen5.Hit OK.
  • 6.Reboot the computer.
  • The new boot screen should appear immediately.

    Note: A Windows Defender error may appear on the next startup. This error can be made to go away by enabling the system config utility using the tray icon.

    That’s funny, I use XP but beta tested Vista for awhile and didn’t realize they had hidden that boot screen. The pretty boot screen was about all that I liked about the Beta :P
