NIM Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 To add something new to my list of Windows Vista tips: what's up with the abnormally bland boot screen?! I'm all for decreasing clutter and all, but a simple progress bar seems so incomplete (then again, so does the rest of Vista). I read somewhere of a quick trick the other night when I was browsing the net. This trick apparently should only be used on newer / faster machines. You'll need to have administrative privileges to get it working right. Either use the Run command or a CMD prompt to enter:bcdedit /set quietboot 1Should make your Windows Vista startup animation a bit more animated?I must admit that I've never tried this, so if anyone does try it, please let us know the result..

cygnus Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I know there was a way to change the boot logo in MSCONFIG. You set "/NOGUIBOOT" in the BOOT.INI tab to either on or off, I can't remember. But it changes your boot logo to something a bit nicer.

Instead of the progress bar, you get a visual boot screen that is not animated. I rather prefer the progress bar because if you run chkdsk during boot up and you have replaced the progress bar with a visual boot screen, you won't see the progress of the chkdsk... at least for me it didn't show.
