   First make sure that you have applied some the tips from Windows Vista tips page . If those tips are not used then, you can do it now:
   
   1) First you have to Download the eldo utility.
   
   2) Then create "myutils" folder on the C: drive.
   
   3) Extract eldo.zip to the myutils directory.
   
   4) Run regedit.exit and also find "Path" value inside "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment" key. Add ";C:\myutils" at the end of "Path" value.
   
   5) Download the Command.reg and add it to the registry then double click on it.

   
   

   If all this is done then you need to download and install one more tool that is called the Vista Boot Logo Generator. You also require to prepare these two images for your logo, one is of the resolution 1024x768 and second is of the resolution 800x600. You then need to save them as 24bpp bmp files, it can be done in the paintbox.
   
   If the you have done all the above then:
   
   1) Open the Windows Explorer and check out the link "C:\Windows\System32" directory.
   
   2) Find the directory which was written as "en-US", then right click on it and choose "Command Prompt".
   
   3) In the command prompt you can type: "eldo takeown /f winload.exe.mui" and press Enter. (a console window should then appear which will inform about the SUCCESS in taking ownership of the file, just press Enter to close it.
   
   4) Now, you have to make the backup of "winload.exe.mui" file type in the command prompt: "eldo copy winload.exe.mui winload.exe.mui.backup" and then press Enter. After this you can close the "Command Prompt" window now.
   
   5) In Window Explorer find for the file "en-US" directory and browse into it, find the file named "winload.exe.mui" file there , right click the file and select "Properties".
   
   6) Select "Security" tab and then press the "Edit" button. Select "Administrators" group and check for the "Full Control" check box under the "Allow" row and also click "Ok" button.
   
   7) Now replace the boot images in the file. Go to "Programs\Vista Boot Logo Generator" in the "Start Menu" and right click on it. Select the command "Run as administrator" from the context menu
   
   8) In the program select the correct logo images (800x600 and 1024x768 bmp files) and then save the (File->Save Boot Screen File As...) the file which is saved as "winload.exe.mui" in the "C:\Windows\System32\en-US" directory.
   
   9) The final step here is to : Go to the Control Panel and double click "Administrative Tools". Now double click the "System Configuration" shortcut. Select the "Boot" tab and check "No GUI boot" check box. Press the "Ok" button.
