I know a lot of people were disappointed by the lack of a decent boot logo in Vista, so Ive thrown together a tool that should simplify the process of creating the new high resolution boot logos!

Your works of art need to be saved as 24-bit BMPs, and youll need to create them in two sizes: 800Ч600 and 1024Ч768. On my machine the boot logo always defaults to 1024Ч768, but I assume the 800Ч600 version automatically kicks in if your graphics card is rubbish Once youve selected your two images, just click File -> “Save Boot Screen File As…” and it will generate the logo file. To make the logo come up during boot, youll need to copy the file to the following folder:

%windir%System32en-US

Youll also need to make sure the /NOGUIBOOT option is enabled in the MSCONFIG tool, otherwise youll only get the old 16 colour boot screen. For full details, make sure you read the info during setup.

IMPORTANT: Its still beta and there may be bugs so use at your own risk, and make sure you backup first!
