Vista Boot Logo Generator

Vista Boot Logo Generator is a very simple application designed to help you create new boot logos for Windows Vista.

Since it's quite a risky job, it's recommended to make a backup before anything else, just to make sure you're on the safe side all the time.

Basically, the application allows you to pick two different resolutions, 800x600 and 1024x768, with a minimal interface that shows you the selected photos. After that, it's enough to go over to “File” and save the boot screen with any name you want.

Unfortunately, Vista Boot Logo Generator is not able to take care of the whole job so you have to move the generated file manually in the Windows folder, System32/en-US. Make sure that the /NOGUIBOOT option is enabled in MSCONFIG.

Since it's such a simple application, Vista Boot Logo Generator doesn't include a detailed help file, although it provides some instructions on how to use your newly-generated boot screen.

Plus, it doesn't work with the 64-bit version of Windows Vista, so don't even think about trying it because you may break down the operating system. Last but not least, don't forget that you need administrator privileges to perform the whole job.

If we were to vote for an improvement, we would of course choose an automatic way to perform the entire process, so users would need just to pick a new image and reboot the machine.

So all in all, Vista Boot Logo Generator is a great idea, but there are many other software utilities out there doing the same thing in a much easier way.
