Enable verbose mode on Vista

OK sometimes you want to see what the heck is going on when Vista is loading up and the 'Please wait' doesn't cut the mustard. Well in that case you can add a registry entry that will show abit more information about the procedures running on the background.

Copy and paste this into a new text file with the extention .reg and double click on it.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"verbosestatus"=dword:00000001


That should add the new entry. One quick reboot and you are done.
