Windows Vista - Changing the boot screen

[X-Ray]

Hello, everyone!

Here is the procedure to change your boot screen :

Installation instructions:
1. Take ownership of the folders %SystemRoot%\system32\en-US and %SystemRoot%\system32\Boot\en-US, then give yourself RW privileges.
2. Take ownership of the files %SystemRoot%\system32\en-US\winload.exe.mui and %SystemRoot%\system32\Boot\en-US\winload.exe.mui, then give yourself RW privileges.
3. Select your screen aspect ratio (most screens are 4:3, 1280 * 1024 ones are 5:4, most widescreens are 16:9, some notebooks are 16:10) and the wanted progress bar color.
4. Copy winload.exe.mui from the folder that contains your chosen bar color and screen aspect ratio version (for example, greenbar \ 4.3) to %SystemRoot%\system32\en-US and %SystemRoot%\system32\Boot\en-US , Overwriting previous files.
5. Enable "No GUI Boot" using Msconfig (if it isn't yet enabled).

Uninstallation Instructions :
1. If you had "No GUI Boot" disabled before installing this boot screen, disable it using Msconfig.
2. Copy winload.exe.mui from the "Original" folder to %SystemRoot%\system32\en-US and %SystemRoot%\system32\Boot\en-US, Overwriting any previous files.
