A funny little thing with Windows Vista is that there is an appealing boot screen that is hidden but can be enabled very easily. The hidden BootScreen is visually much more appealing.
This is the default boot screen:
And this is the hidden one, called “Aurora”:
To enable the hidden BootScreen:
- 1.Open the start menu search box.
- 2.Type “msconfig” and hit enter.

- 3.Open the Boot tab.
- 4.Check the “No GUI boot” checkbox.
5.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.
