@Anil,
Login windows vista using administrator user account.
Is there a way to change the boot screen on Vista x64??
I can’t find it anywhere…
You might consider warning your readers that this no longer works after Vista’s SP1.
Because it doesn’t.
According to Dan Smith, this no longer works if Vista SP1 is installed.
Did windows update, doesn’t work any longer. Looking forward to an updated version.
Thanks!
