By default, Vista does not display a boot logo when starting up. I found this very odd, as all previous version of Windows had a logo of some sort. After some investigating, it turns out that Windows Vista does indeed have a boot logo. You just have to enable it. Here's how:

- Press Windows key + R (This brings up the Run dialog box)

- Type msconfig in the Run dialog box and press Enter (This brings up the system configuration utility)

- Click the Boot tab

- Tick No GUI boot

- Click OK and close system configuration utility. A reboot is required.


The next time you start Vista you will see the boot logo.

NOTE: The scroll bar you usually see may not be displayed.
