) Start the program,
click Browse for image on the left side, and locate the 800 ?— 600 .bmp file
you just made. Then, click Browse for image on the right side, and locate
the 1024 ?— 768 version. When that??™s done, select File ??? Save Boot Screen
File As, name the file winload.exe.mui (the default) and save it to your desktop,
and then close the Vista Boot Logo Generator.
Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\en-US\
folder (if you??™re not using the United States??“English edition of Windows
Vista, choose the appropriate folder in place of en-US). Take ownership of
the winload.exe.mui file in this folder, as described in ???Set Permissions for a
File or Folder??? in Chapter 8, and then rename it to winload.exe.mui.backup.
Now that the original file is out of the way, drag your custom winload.exe.mui
file into the C:\Windows\System32\en-US\ folder.
There??™s one more step: open the Start menu, type msconfig in the Search
box, and press Enter to open the System Configuration window. Choose the
Boot tab, and from the Boot options section, turn on the No GUI boot
option. Click OK and then close the System Configuration window when
you??™re done.
To try out your new boot screen, restart Windows!
See ???Start Windows Instantly (Almost),??? in Chapter 5, for other settings that
determine how long the startup logo appears on screen, and ???Customize the
Welcome Screen Background,??? in Chapter 8, for a related hack.
