tunafish Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 (edited) If you are tired of the default boot screen in Windows Vista, there is a better looking one hidden away Press the Windows Key + R combination on your keyboard to display the Run dialog. Type msconfig If UAC Prompts you, click on Continue. In the System Configuration?€? window, click on the Boot? tab. Select your Windows Vista installation and under Boot options, check ?€œNo GUI boot. Press OK. In the dialog that appears, check Dont show this message again?, and then click on Restart?. Your computer will now reboot, and you will see the aurora? boot screen with text that says Starting Windows Vista. Please rememebr when messing around with system files always have backups of your files etc Source Edited June 9, 2007 by tunafish Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/566103-settingsenable-aurora-boot-screen/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toology Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I don't like the text much, though. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/566103-settingsenable-aurora-boot-screen/#findComment-588614128 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian M. Veteran Posted June 9, 2007 Veteran Share Posted June 9, 2007 I really dont know about this. I switched to it instantly pretty much after RTM was released (i never really used Vista as a main OS before then), but I just prefer the simplicity of the standard boot screen. I suppose it would have been nice if they could have done something a bit more spectacular with it, but as far as I know, they are still limited to 16 colours on the standard one (correct me if I'm wrong though ;) ) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/566103-settingsenable-aurora-boot-screen/#findComment-588614229 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattrobs Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 It only displays for like 3 seconds anyway. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/566103-settingsenable-aurora-boot-screen/#findComment-588614822 Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Hiroshi- Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Nice trick, I do that myself, but I modified my noguiboot to look like the attached pic.

+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted June 10, 2007 Subscriber² Share Posted June 10, 2007 Nice tweak, but I think it looks better just as a progress bar. The new boot screen is just a picture that doesn't do anything >.> Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/566103-settingsenable-aurora-boot-screen/#findComment-588616524 Share on other sites More sharing options...
