    The Windows Vista BootScreen is pointless, but Microsoft decided to hide a more visually appealing boot screen that can easily be enabled with very little trouble. I'm not sure why they didn't make the boot screen better. ;)

    Here's the default boot screen:

    And here's the hidden one, called "Aurora"

    All you have to do is type msconfig into the start menu search box, and hit enter.

    Click the Boot tab, and then check the "No GUI boot" checkbox.

    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. :P

    never use it with Vista SP1

    it gives real pain if you enable it on Vista SP1 :yes:

    (try it out on SP1. enable it & try to boot from Safe Mode :P )
