How to Enable Hidden Boot Screen in Windows Vista
While booting up with Windows, I am quite fade up with the Black boot screen. I want to have a different boot screen and finally found a more visually appealing boot screen that is hidden by Microsoft. It can easily be enabled with very little trouble. I’m not sure why they didn’t make the boot screen better.
If you want a better boot screen, you can try the h
idden boot screen by Microsoft. The default boot screen looks like the picture in the left. And when you do the trick and enable the hidden bootscreen you will find a visually appealing AURORA boot screen.
Perform the following steps to enable the Aurora boot screen:
1. Click Start > Type “msconfig” in search box, and Press Enter.
2. Navigate to the Boot tab, and then check the “No GUI boot” checkbox.
3. Press OK and restart your system. 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.
That is a pretty nice Ester egg frm Microsoft.

Microsoft has left this feature as an Ester egg for users to find it out.

Oh, okay I understand, thanks. Makes sense. Easter eggs can generate some fun buzz amongst those ‘in the know’, and if popular enough, everyone will find out about it eventually ..

I am still using windows xp, but I really like to get windows vista, it is just I have some software and program on my pc that I am afraid they may get affect with vista cause I heard that windows vista has some problems and I got an advice from one of my friend not to use for now as he told me to wait until microsoft work more on windows vista and prove it more and then I would get it for my pc.

Thats very interesting that Microsoft is doing this. It’s not a necessity, as the boot screen really has little to do with the performance of the system. However it is cool in a geeky way to be able to customize your boot screen.
On a side note: This feature has been available in many distros of linux for quite some time.
