You can add an application that used GDI functions to the startup
sequence (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init) immediately after GWES (). In this
way, your logo will be shown when the OS is almost ready to interact
with the user, so you should display it briefly.
If you want to show it during the system initialization, you have to
show it inside your bootloader or your platform initialization code. In
this case the logo could be displayed just after the power-up and will
stay on screen until GWES and the shell (or the main application) are
started. This solution is very platform-dependent because you cannot
use GDI or other OS API inside the bootloader or OEMInit and other
platform initialization routines.
